Fame !!

Last year, Esther won a writing competition at school. It was an international competition aimed at young writers. Several children from Esther's school were among the prize winners. 
Their prize? Their stories were to be published in a book! So Esther now has her name in print; an international author at the age of 6! 

A couple of weeks ago we finally received the printed copy of the book:
Of course, grandparents have also received their own copies too! It's been so much fun to read through the stories inside and see how the children have been encouraged in their writing skills from an early age. There are many children's stories, from the UK to far-flung places such as Dodoma, but my favourite story will always be the story on page 19!
