A DAY TO CELEBRATE THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD

 


A DAY TO CELEBRATE THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD

World Children’s Day was first established in 1954 as Universal Children's Day and is celebrated on 20 November each year to promote international togetherness, and awareness among children worldwide, and to improve children's welfare.

November 20th is an important date as it is the date in 1959 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. It is also the date in 1989 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Since 1990, World Children's Day also marks the anniversary of the date that the UN General Assembly adopted both the Declaration and the Convention on Children's rights.

Mothers and fathers, teachers, nurses and doctors, government leaders and civil society activists, religious and community elders, corporate moguls and media professionals, as well as young people and children themselves, can play an important part in making World Children's Day relevant for their societies, communities, and nations.

World Children's Day offers each of us an inspirational entry-point to advocate, promote and celebrate children's rights, translating into dialogues and actions that will build a better world for children.

On Universal Children's Day, I share three books I have written for children.

The Child Poet: A Poetic Galaxy for Children.

A USEFUL TOOL FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN.
THE CHILD POET: A POETIC GALAXY FOR CHILDREN written by multi-award-winning author BRENDA MOHAMMED, is the kind of book that any parent would treasure to help offspring become creative.
The poet creates no borders to capture the panoramic potential of a child's vision.
When you look at the title, the book speaks for itself,
There are beautiful illustrations inside.
The author has written poems about nature, the galaxy, books, and family life in simplified forms so that children can capture the meanings easily.
This is an ideal gift book that could derive productive results for nurturing children.
ADVENTURES OF SQUEAKY DOO.
ADVENTURES OF SQUEAKY DOO, a short story collection, teaches children Geography, Cultures, and love for pets. The book is about the travel adventures of a girl named Marge and her pet, Squeaky Doo :
1. Squeaky Doo on the Beach - Squeaky Doo has a scary adventure on the beach. You will want to keep on reading to see how it all ends.
2. Squeaky Doo in California - Visit the National History Museum in Los Angeles with Marge and Squeaky Doo. You will be thrilled.
3. Squeaky Doo in Orlando - Ever been to Holy Land in Orlando? Marge and Squeaky Doo will take you there.
4. Squeaky Doo goes on a Cruise - Sail aboard a cruise ship with Marge and Squeaky Doo. Take part in the fun.
Squeaky Doo in Trinidad- Experience an amazing adventure in the beautiful Caribbean island of Trinidad with Marge and Squeaky Doo.
A Reviewer said: "As seen through the wide-open eyes of an adorable teddy bear, these stories are of Squeaky Doo’s adventures on the beach, in California, in Orlando, on a Royal Caribbean cruise, and on the sunny island of Trinidad.
This teddy bear loves to travel with the family and the grandparents.
An extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and their friends join in the fun-filled activities and celebrations.
A common theme is Squeaky Doo getting lost or left behind –on the beach, at the wedding, at a store in the mall, on the cruise ship, or getting snatched by a thief.
Not to worry though…as Squeaky Doo somehow gets to go on yet another adventure."
SHE CRIED FOR ME: DOGS AND ELEPHANTS.
This delightful book for children contains three stories:
1. She Cried for me: Autobiography of a dog who was rescued.
2. Julie and the Elephant Mamba.
3. Brownie and the Hunter.
Within the book are Sample Chapters from other children's books.
She Cried for Me is a heart-wrenching story for pet and dog lovers.
A young dog becomes tired of being underfed and abused. Scared of her owner's threat to kill her, she runs away.
Dog catchers are on her trail. The owner of a dog sanctuary spots her. Will she be rescued? Can she find a loving home with a loving family?
In Julie and the Elephant, Julie wants to join the circus for one reason - to play with Elephant Mamba.
Will her Mom allow her to join?
In the third story, Brownie and the Hunter, a dog named Brownie disappeared from a loving home.
Was she ever found?
Read the book to find out.

PREPARE FOR A WILD RIDE WITH ZEEKA CHRONICLES ROBOTS AND ZOMBIES

 


A TALE THAT DANCES ON THE EDGE OF SCIENCE FICTION MYSTERY AND ISLAND INTRIGUE

Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka is a tale that dances on the edge of science fiction, mystery, and island intrigue. This electrifying series is tantalizing and dripping with suspense and island flavour.

A nightmare unfolds on the sun-kissed shores of Gosh Island, where palm trees sway and steel drums echo. Dr. Steven Sharpe, a brilliant scientist, stands accused of the heinous crime of using his ground-breaking research to create an army of 51 programmable zombies to unleash chaos upon unsuspecting Carnival revellers.

Dr. George Brown was warned that this would happen by a strange person who visited him at the Gosh hospital and called himself Number Nine, but only his false head was found on the stage and it was assumed he was dead.

Detective Jack Wildy has dealt with smugglers, con artists, and the occasional rogue but nothing prepares him for the horror that washes ashore when the zombies strike. Nevertheless, he and his assistant Detective Jerry Cole are determined to unravel the twisted secrets of the vengeful Zeeka.

As the body count rises, Wildy races against time. Detective Jerry Cole, Jack’s partner is as sharp as a barracuda’s tooth, but even he has difficulty to fathom what twisted mind is behind the mayhem.

Zeeka is the elusive puppet master. A name whispered in shadows, a figure who flits between the digital and the human. Zeeka’s grudge runs deep, fuelled by secrets buried in the island’s volcanic soil, but his real name is not known.

Wildy uncovers a web of betrayal, lost love, and scientific hubris. Dr. Steven Sharpe who was kidnapped years ago, holds the key and Wildy must unravel the truth before Zeeka’s revenge consumes them all.

In a race against both time and the tides, Wildy confronts Zeeka who was captured by a beautiful robot after he abandons his flesh-eating zombies. He confesses to the crimes and Dr. Steven Sharpe is no longer a suspect. The police must destroy the zombies before the tropical paradise becomes a graveyard and its sandy beaches are stained with blood.

Zeeka commits suicide in prison.

The island’s heartbeat quickens with a rhythm of fear and hope.

Zeeka appears as a ghost to Steven Sharpe and begs for forgiveness for kidnapping him as a child. He refuses but forgives him after Zeeka saves him and his wife Mandy from dangerous criminals. Zeeka leaves the world in peace.

Number Nine is alive. Mandy's robot helper, Eve, encounters him in the backyard. He collapses in the backyard with an epileptic fit, and Eve alerts the Gosh hospital. Tests and records confirm he is Number Nine, he is not a zombie and is the biological son of Bill Grady – Master Zeeka. He was misdiagnosed with microcephaly at birth. Dr. Raynor Sharpe helps Number Nine choose Nieman Grady as his legal name, and Steven cures him of his brain ailment, Craniosynostosis, with his new invention CrainX.  Steven is the new hero in Gosh as his miracle cures and inventions replace Carnival Tourism with Medical Tourism, and the island regains prominence on the world map.     

If you’re ready to dive into the pages of Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka, grab your sunscreen, and a flashlight for those late-night reading sessions and prepare for a wild ride.
