Placid Pamela

Some things take time, and this tale’s journey is truly extraordinary. Placid Pamela is one of four fables conceived over 30 years ago. Today, it emerges as a testament to the author’s perseverance, offering a chance to share his vision with the world.

The whole reason for not just Placid Pamela but also the other three is that Mr Bright’s daughter Kristina was born with cerebral palsy in 1988 and is classed as nonverbal which means that she cannot speak. That being so her soft toys became something she could relate to one of which was a panda.

Now 36 and receiving full-time care, Kristina still holds onto her panda, alongside a tiger, an elephant, and a bear. These toys, enduring symbols of her childhood, serve as the inspiration for three additional fables to follow Placid Pamela. Written during Kristina’s youth, Mr. Bright believes these stories will captivate not only young readers but also offer parents a meaningful experience to share with their children.
