Janine Thomas grew up in Blackwater, a small coal mining town in north QLD.
After moving to Hobart, Sydney and Canada she finally settled down in Brisbane where she has now been residing for more than 20 years.
Janine has had other professions including journalism, writing news stories for a Canadian newspaper. After settling in Brisbane she works full time is now a Mum of 3 boys.
Her inspiration to write children’s story books came from her children. She understood the importance of reading to your child early in thier childhood. She wanted her children to be interested in reading, so she wrote stories that resonated with them at the time. Her children gave her the inspiration and the ideas to create. Putting thier name in the story made the story real to them and encouraged thier love for reading.
Her children ended up co writing two of the books with Janine reinforcing their creativity and imagination, helping them to understand that their ideas are important. By writing personalised childrens books, Janine hopes that other children will be inspired to write, read and create boosting their self esteem and confidence as they read a story book from her collection. A story that is all about them.
International Author Anna Martha
Being a mother of two kids, serial entrepreneur and multicultural citizen, Anna Martha considers childhood a vital foundation for lifelong learning, mental health and behavior. Since 2008 Anna worked with app creation and successfully developed a series of mobile apps that were downloaded over 1M times and provided meaningful feedback and understanding of parents’ needs. All of her experience inspired Anna to create a series of children’s books.
Her books are focused on kids’ emotions, mental health and life values, which makes children confident to explore the world. She believes that books can strengthen the bond between parents and kids in the way of shared reading, discussing and learning.
For instance, the first book “Crab Island” raises important topics for kids such as taking care of the environment, as well as some crucial aspects of socializing like asking friends for help and helping others.
The second book – “Robot friend” helps to learn about the qualities of a true friend and find out what skills are helpful for making new friends.
The book “How Are You Today?” sheds light on the emotions that fill every child’s life, and normalizes them. This masterpiece introduces situations in which one experiences a wide spectrum of emotions and teaches that to feel is to live.
The most recent and best-selling book “Making Dreams Come True” shows kids how to figure out their dream, what the dream’s enemy is, and how to handle all this! This story is about a strong message to your children to reach their full future power and to deal with fears that stop us from achieving goals.
