The Lonely Potoo

There once was a lonely potoo.

The other animals would giggle and cry,

‘Oh look, it’s the ugly potoo...I can’t be friends with you!’

One day, the potoo was tired of feeling gloomy and down.

So he flew from his tree, hoping a friend could be found.

Will the clever potoo be able to trick the other birds using a not-so-perfect disguise?

The Lonely Possum

The Lonely Possum was inspired by a possum who was found living in an odd place for such a creature to live, and that was behind the roller door of a garage! This story, being both simple and sweet, was written to demonstrate the similarities an animal can have to a human, for we all feel emotions. These emotions can be due to an action by another person or a reaction from one’s own actions. The Lonely Possum sees a possum react to events where it makes it feel alone, however, a kind gecko one day comes along to reassure the possum that no one is ever alone! Thus, also teaching children the importance of always being kind to one another.

The Land of Faerie

Do you have a light in your back garden or on your flat balcony? You know, the type which hangs from a bracket on the wall or from a post holding birdfeeders, perhaps. Have you ever looked closely at it when the light is shining? Well, Molly did just that and saw strange creatures moving about inside it.

It turned out they were faeries, from The Land of Faerie: a fantastical world where pixies, faeries, unicorns, and other magical creatures live. We can briefly experience what it is like through our dreams – providing we have enough imagination. But Molly discovered it is possible to see and talk to some of these magical creatures not just in her dreams but also when she was awake: through what the faeries called “gateways” between our world and theirs. Yes, you guessed it, the gateways are usually garden lights.

However, as you will know I am sure, such lights sometimes don’t work – most often because their batteries are run-down. When her light stopped working, Molly discovered that there was more to it than just some run-down batteries.

Desperate to be able to talk again with her friends – Maple Leaf, Iris Flower, and Mayfly – she found herself on a journey of discovery which involved learning more about global warming and global dimming. It also involved the whole of The Land of Faerie trying to solve the problems which such conditions were creating for their gateways to our world.
