Unconditional Love – Introducing Nana Maisie
Today I was delighted to introduce Terese Eglington’s latest children’s book NANNA MAISIE at the Country Hearts Event Group Artisan Market at the Glennie School Hall in Toowoomba.
As an educator, dance teacher and a mother of four, Terese has gained
a knowledge and understanding of child learning, development and entertainment. And for those who don’t know – Terese published her first children’s picture book WOT-SI-U AND THE WHISPERING WATTLES in 2014. Her second book THE LAUGHING TREE followed.
These are charming children’s books that reflect Terese’s love of nature, poetry and her passion for painting and art.
Introducing Nana Maisie
With Nana Maisie we’re reminded of the importance of grandparents in the lives of children. Before our culture became so mobile, it was common for children to grow up surrounded by extended family, including one or both sets of grandparents.
Many of us remember a childhood with weekly visits to see Nana.
While some children’s grandparents live nearby, others live hundreds (if not thousands) of kilometres away. But, even with the difficulty of distance, young children talk excitedly about seeing Nana and Grandpa, during the school holidays or for a simple weekend visit.
Terese reading Nana Maisie
Nana Maisie speaks of unconditional affection, the joy of life, of family, and the concern of memory loss, followed by good decision making as grandparents age. For some people, Nana Maisie’s situation is familiar, for others a faint possibility. But the realisation that Nana is becoming far more forgetful than she used to be leads to a crossing over to a new stage of life for many real life grandparents and of course the family.
One of my favourites – by Terese Eglington
Nana Maisie is done in an engaging, real manner and I think we all recall life-long memories of special times spent with our grandparents. I’ve no double Terese will combine her talent for painting and share her joy to inspire children to be themselves, love life and be creative, for many years to come.
Congratulations Terese on your release of Nana Maisie.
