Through an inticing game, children select the DNA code that will craft their new creature. Each pack, consists of precut/built pieces as well as additional materials for creative souls to build their own.

Meet Jada Mei Mathews

In the first addition of the Jada Mei Mathews’ series, Jada and her friends embark on a mission to discover what truly makes a family. 

Within a humorous story children are introduced to different family structures and encouraged to consider and celebrate all types of families. Jada may be adopted and with a single parent but that’s not what makes her family photo unique. 

 

Join Jada, Zuri and Liam as they explore the world of adoption and test out Jada’s Plan: PERFECT.

A Little About Kim

Hello friends,

 I am a girl with big dreams. I am a science teacher and a mother who watches and listens to children daily. I recognise their fear of being wrong and their innate curiosity.  Their wonderful uniqueness and their self-consciousness as they grow.

I see parents who are concerned for their children and unsure of how best to guide them.  They want their children to be academically strong, confident and happy and fear they will not set them up as best as they can. 

These fears I understand and it’s my mission to help lessen them.

I work with children to gain confidence in differences and themselves. To explore ideas and to wonder about possibilities. To open up creativity and celebrate  discussions.  To recognise the ‘try’ rather than fear the possible outcomes.

Through stories, science and practical activities we can open up conversations and encourage children to look  at  the world they live in and the lives they wonder about. 

We can drop in ideas and let them explore and question. We can give them a voice, trust their opinions and own their own creations. 

If they can look for awe, embrace wonder and trust their ability to find solutions then, my friends,  we may give our kids the tools to remain happy and confident with the who they are and the who they are becoming. 

Let’s celebrate!

 

 

 

With no other way to get where we needed to be and thinking of the world she would see around her, I took my kid on a tuk-tuk. With the noise, commotion and busy world around there would be so much for her to discover and yet she slept. The only place she ever napped! As parents we try and yet our kids tend to show us what they really need.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Sadie.G. My mum calls me, “her Creative Director” because I keep it real. She’d get up at 4:00 a.m. just to get her “Me Time” in and write. When I’d get up she would be sat there typing away. I’d ask her to read me her next chapter. Sometimes she’d laugh at a part and I would too. At other times, she’d laugh and I’d just shake my head. I made sure she only kept the good bits in for all of you. Read more about me here.
