Yesterday, I brought my little book, Sóla’s Journey, to a book fair for schools and libraries.
There it was, among hundreds of beautiful children’s books. Big books, thick books, hardcovers, and stories by well-known authors.
And then there was my little Sóla!
I must admit, for a moment, I felt rather small myself. But mostly, I felt proud. Proud that I had written a book and brought it into the world. That I was taking part, standing there with a story of my own. I really was quite proud of myself.
Looking at all those books, I thought about why I had started writing Sóla’s stories. I wanted to deliver an important message to parents, and at the same time talk with children about things that are close to my heart. Kindness and peace, love for nature, and how we are all connected. And from there parents would breath more deeply and feel the calm from the slow reading and nature vibe.
These are things I wanted to read to my boys when they were little. And I would be happy if Sóla’s stories gave other children and their families a reason to sit together, wonder about the magic in our surroundings, little things and the neverending sparkle in nature.
So there it was, my little book. And I was so glad I had gone ahead and done it.
With love,
Berglind ❤️
BGlobal in Heart & Mind, be kind.
