He’s more independent now. His communication skills are improving so quickly it’s hard to keep up . Kids are surrounded by symbols, shapes and pictures of all descriptions from the moment they are born. As they grow they start to learn the words and names for these objects and now I think it’s time to take my son’s understanding of these symbols to the next level.

Because of my keen interest in the magical qualities of life, I enjoy encouraging and nurturing his imagination. I’m making him a series of simple books that will take a symbol, for instance the moon, and give him some simple facts about it as well as weave in some the magical symbolic qualities of the moon.

Below are my first draft ideas for the content of the first book, though I am no expert on childhood education. Any suggestions on wording would be most welcome.

• This is the moon.
• We usually see it at night in the sky.
• Sometimes we also see it in sky in the day time.
• It looks like a big circle. But it’s actually a giant ball.
• Sometimes it’s shaped like a banana. Like it’s hiding behind a curtain.
• Some people say it’s made of cheese. It’s actually made of rocks and dirt.
• Sometimes it s small like a baby ball.
• Sometimes its big like a Papa ball.
• Sometimes it’s high in the middle of the sky.
• Sometimes it’s low, resting on the sea or the buildings.
• Some people say there’s a man in the moon.
• Some people say the moon is a woman.
• Whatever people say the moon is a very good friend to all of us.
