The Faery Book / FUNdraising Ideas

Did you know that connecting youth with nature results in proven mental, emotional and physical benefits? Have your heard about the amazing Get to Know contest for Canada and the U.S.A?  It  invites those 19 years of age and younger to get outside and create original works of art, writing, photography, videography and music inspired by nature. I am honoured to be a sponsor with my book in the Writing Category. In Canada visit http://www.get-to-now.org/contest/canada/  and in the U.S.A: http://www.get-to-know.org/contest/us/ Get Outdoors and “Get to Know Your Wild Neighbours”. 
 

Susanne is a Speaker, Author and FUNdraiser
Featuring the Award-Winning Children's Book, The ABC Field Guide to Faeries
This book is dedicated in loving memory of a courageous young girl named Sarah Lisa Foidart, who lost her fight to a very rare brain tumour.  Sarah touched my heart in such a way that forever changed the course of my destiny.  She had and continues to have a deep impact on my life.  She motivated me to create this book about "Nature's Angels" which in turn helps to delight and inspire children of all ages. Sarah’s spirit does indeed live on.

To see me dressed as Susanne, The Sunshine Faery from the book and to get a quick overview of Motivated by Nature and what it can do for you, please sneak a peek at the video below.

Inspired by a 12 year-old's unwavering faith, this charming ode to magical creatures will awaken the whimsical side of your nature, whether you are six or sixty. The lilting rhymes will connect you to the world where faeries are guardians of our environment, and maybe even our lives."

“This book is like ‘a breath of fresh air’ with wonderful bubbles of knowledge, humour, information and imagination.  The poems contain a great deal of wisdom for the reader.  This book inspires children to learn, create and take responsibility for their own lives.  What a positive and great teaching tool for ALL children!”
