I am excited to share this guest post by Nicole Borgenicht, as part of the World of Ink Tour for her book, The Kids of Dandelion Township. Her book, The Kids of Dandelion
Township, is a story about new friends who in the process of discovering magic
together, learn about their similar emotions and different cultures. All in the
context of a child's day, the kids unravel mysteries of A students, and invent
ways to be creative while completing their homework assignments. Preparing the
way for children to receive magic, the kids of Dandelion Township wish all
children will experience it one day.
"This is a fantasy story, yet the bigger picture looks at
challenges all children face, and seeing those circumstances from a
lighter view, so as to enjoy their youth and friends while meeting their
goals"
From the Author:
In
The Kids of Dandelion Township I’ve designed each chapter to reveal a
positive message in a fantasy world of kids who have similar challenges
and goals as children everywhere.
New
friends quickly learn about each other’s sensitivities, and they
develop compassion while expressing their natural personalities and
unique ways of having fun. The friends also run a little investigation
to discover their schoolmate friends who have top grades fib about their
whereabouts while studying long hours.
This
is actually very funny. I remember even in college going to the library
after midnight when all the kids were presumably partying and instead
finding many students reading and researching! These hidden habits and
mistaken location assumptions begin early in life, so it’s a great
competitive edge for kids not to take everything their friends say as
the absolute truth. Furthermore the lesson in the chapter title helps
kids get “Good Grades;” it is the name of chapter two.
On
the topic of homework, the friends engage a circle of their schoolmate
pals and develop creative methods to complete their assignments. It is
very important in this book for the kids to accomplish two things. One
is to have fun - be in the moment in their youth, and the other is to
meet their goals and wishes in a positive way. They spend a lot of time
in the forest where there is a secret magical meadow. The kids are able
to make a very special wish, and the forest changes seasons and
different holiday items appear. Carrying beautifully wrapped boxes their
gifts suddenly disappear, making what would seem to be a happy occasion
dismal - but the children realize instantly their gift is the bond
between them.
Ironies
pop up such as the differences in their cultures and the conflict
between personal desire and what is good for the group. But in the long
run, this tale guides children to be themselves and recognize their
thoughts and feelings are natural, while showing a kind and uplifting
path as a central driving force in The Kids of Dandelion Township
chapter book. This is a fantasy story, yet the bigger picture looks at
challenges all children face, and seeing those circumstances from a
lighter view, so as to enjoy their youth and friends while meeting their
goals.
