Travels With Gigi-Gigi's Magic Carpet Ride

I was recently inspired to begin writing a children's book while on a long road trip with my pet dog, Gigi.In the story Gigi has magical powers that were given to here via a gift of a magic carpet from a mysterious Turkish "Halvaji". We then travel around the world to see many famous sites in Italy, Spain, France and Greece among others. This book is meant to instruct as well as entertain young readers.

My pet dog, Gigi is given magical powers when she receives a gift of a Magic carpet from a mysterious Turkish "Halvaji". We then travel around the world to visit famous places like the Eiffel Tower in Paris,The Parthenon in Greece, The Pyramids in Egypt and the Coliseum in Rome among others. The storybook is written in rhyming verse. Each place that is visited is accompanied by an illustration to increase children's awareness and interest. There is also a glossary at the end of the book to help reinforce the Foreign names and words included in the text. This will help parents and teachers review the story content with the child to encourage learning.

I am a retired elementary school teacher who has always loved literature and art. As a retiree I have been dedicating more time to my passion for painting watercolors and writing. I hope I will be able to share my stories and illustrations with young readers.
