Laughing Waters

Herb and Jen

Beschreibung

This is a story about Herb and Jen, Jamaican siblings, and their trip to their paradise called Laughing Waters. Their mother drives them in her jalopy through rocky mountainous hills and fishing villages, while the car drops into puddles of water along the way. They stop on their journey to eat Jamaica's favorite dish, ackee and saltfish, and enjoy sweet-tasting naseberries and mango fruits. They cross a narrow bridge and travel along a lonely road which was once a riverbed. Little do Herb and Jen know that there is a surprise waiting for them. Their father will be at Laughing Waters to join them in the fun. It is such a joyful meeting. Herb and Jen and their parents have a wonderful time at Laughing Waters, enjoying the cool, fresh water pounding on their backs, the sun, the beach, the fresh air, and the sparkling drops of water sprinkling on their faces. There is danger ahead. Herb disobeys his father and climbs up the falls and slides down a grass patch nearby, almost hurting himself, only to be rescued by Jen. As Herb and Jen continue enjoying their holiday trip at the seaside, splashing in the waterfalls, laughing, jumping in the air, and clapping their hands in glee, they know that this is their special place for fun and joy and happiness. Do you have a special place?

Autor

I attended the Froebel College Institute of Education, Roehampton, London, which majors in teaching about the development of the whole child: socially, academically emotionally, physically and spiritually. My early career took me into teaching young children in schools, lecturing, consulting, implementing, and developing stories for a flagship child to child project in rural Jamaica which is integrated into the Jamaican Ministry of Education's curriculum.Although my career has morphed into becoming an International Public Health Consultant, my passion has always been to write children's stories. I am driven by my knowledge of the importance of play for children's development and the gains made by honoring childhood.This story encapsulates memories of my childhood with my brother Herbie, who passed in an accident, and Jen, the author of the story. Our childhood was a happy one filled with fun, laughter, happiness, and pure joy.I exude these emotions intentionally and value giving our children a chance and space to play, have fun and enjoy their childhood years.
