Bronwyn knows the importance of getting
kids engaged in reading. Noticing how her daughters face lit up when she
recognized familiar scenes, and also wanting to reflect the bedtime routine of re-capping
a child’s day Bronwyn created the ‘One Sunny Day Book Club’.
The first book in the series will be
launched officially on August 25th, ‘One Sunny Day in Lennox Head’,
this year will also see the release of ‘One Sunny Day in Ballina’ and ‘One
Sunny Day in Byron Bay’. Down the track Bronwyn hopes to continue the series
with books based in Brunswick Heads, Yamba, etc.
The One Sunny Day series is designed to be
re-enacted. Parents could plan a special day around the story line, encouraging
families to experience local family-friendly hotspots. “Australia relies heavily
on the tourism industry, yet many Australians travel abroad for their holidays
as opposed to exploring their own country,” said Bronwyn.
Children with an ADHD diagnosis often
struggle with concentrating on reading and on connecting the words with what they
already know. “By reading a story based on their own life, or something they
can look forward to re-enacting, it greatly increases the chance of remaining
focus and understanding the words,” Said Bronwyn.
The ‘One Sunny Day Book Club’ website is up
and running and definitely worth a look. There are some great local offers,
competitions, business listings as well as some fantastic rainy day ideas-
because not every day is sunny! There is also a town guide with some great
ideas of things to do locally, as well as a extensive community calendar so you
never miss out on any of the great family activities in your area! ‘North Coast MUMblings’, Bronwyn’s blog is also attached to the website and covers all kinds
of parenting related subjects.
We’re excited to have Bronwyn coming to the
market, and she has generously offered to donate $5 from every book sold on the day
to the Lismore Base Hospitals Special Care Unit. Bronwyn is also providing us with
two ‘Complete Pest Control: General Pest’ vouchers- worth $110 each! These will
be up for grabs in the raffle.
