I had the pleasure of doing several online storytelling sessions over the past few weeks.
Introduced my Toy stories to the children of two Artkidz preschools and read Just Teddy, one of the first few books that I wrote when I first started out as an author.
It was heartening to see the children connect with my teddy bear tale which is now 14 years old.
The principal picked a few kids who had questions to come forward to the Zoom screen one after another in a delightful line up.
What is my favourite book? was the most difficult question.
After all, how do I pick a favourite? I told them if I had choose, it would have to be Prince Bear & Pauper Bear, my very first book ever written. Pauper Bear, the teddy bear without a mouth, was after all inspired by my coming-out story about my voice journey.
I also completed four Zoom Meet-the-Author cum storytelling sessions organised by National Library Board. As part of NLB’s Mobile Library services, I met children from MINDS Fernvale Gardens, MINDS Lee Kong Chian Gardens, Canossian School and Rainbow Centre.
Little Mimic’s Superpower was the starring story in these four storytelling session as I felt his colourful story and superpower would shine through the Zoom sessions. I’m glad that Little Mimic’s colourful journey of discovery connected with the children, several of whom said they like octopuses.
Now, I’m quietening down to grind out a new manuscript. Hope to churn out something meaningful and good in quick time. No pressure…gasp!
