Story
My Project...
My Bunny is a beautifully illustrated rhyming picture book for children.
With your help, I want to publish this book and provide local pre-schools with a copy for their children to enjoy and help them learn and develop reading.
Rhyme helps children learn and progress with reading. See bookstart on google for further information.
How Will I Use The Funds...
The book story and illustrations are complete. I will publish the book through a known quality established publisher who will typeset and print the book.
The more I raise the more pre-schools will benefit. I will continue to provide updates with how many more pre-schools benefit if donations arrive outside of the initial target.
Who Am I...
I am a children's author, passionate about fostering the love of reading in children of all ages.
Why? It's a personal story...
My children brought books home with complex character and place names. When reading at bed time they paused everytime they came to one of these names which in turn broke the flow of reading. This caused visible frustration and put them off reading, knocking their confidence.
This resulted in one of them falling significantly behind the rest of the class. Not content to let this happen, I took a course in children's book writing and finished my first book. I wanted my book to be different; I wanted it to cover a wide age group; I wanted it to be a book that was enjoyed by children and adults and read time after time again! I succeeded. My first book, Escape from Nettle Farm, received 5* reviews at Troubador Publishing; Goodreads; Waterstones and Amazon with lovely feedback.
For a suitable donation, companies can be acknowledged as a supporter in the book. Please email me on info@justindavis.co.uk to discuss.
I have been on BBC Northampton radio discussing this project. They are keen for me to return with the outcome and to discuss the supporters.
