Following her book launch of ‘Merry and Her Three Wishes’ in Knutsford, Cheshire on Sunday evening 24th February, talented writer Helen Wilson has kindly agreed to sign a copy of her new book for my lucky raffle winner. "Merry and Her Three Wishes" is beautifully illustrated by Annie Rose, and normally retails at £7.95. Once I've covered my costs, I will donate the balance from this raffle to Helen, to help contribute towards temporary shelter for homeless people, the issue of homelessness being a cause close to her heart. So what is this book all about? Young readers can now join a wondrous mouse called Merry on her first adventure, as she makes three seemingly impossible wishes that come true! Meet the fairy princess as she is preparing to marry the prince, and be enthralled by the amazing woodland creatures that you will meet along the way. Be in awe of Ernest the owl, and a daring rescue, as well as an emotional reunion of lost family. This book is a simple and fun way to encourage children from an early age to have faith that it is entirely possible to achieve their dreams, that mindfulness and listening to the whisperings of the heart are positive and that with Love at the core, life can indeed be a magical adventure. This book can be either a great bedtime story or an aid to improve a child’s reading skills. Ages 0 to 7.
