Count Our Blessings (April 2021)

An anthology of inspirational stories and poetry celebrating hope, gratitude, and small joys in life. 

I write because I believe that stories have the power to reach into places that sermons and speeches cannot. Because I have spent decades inside schools and community centres and arts programs watching what happens when a learner encounters a story that finally names something they have been living but never seen written down. I have seen the relief on a face when a poem says what could not be said out loud. And I wrote Count Our Blessings out of that same belief, that the world needs stories about inequality and injustice and pain and difference and, underneath all of it, the stubborn, irreducible presence of hope. I'm grateful that my readers found that in my book. One of them said it was "both simple and profound." Another said it "touches your mind, your heart and your soul." A third called it "genuinely inspirational, a wonderful resource for these troubled times." My work was reviewed in "Writing in Education" journal. It was featured on Hannah's Bookshelf on North Manchester Radio. The Onwards and Upwards community embraced it. I wrote a book about the world the way it actually is, not the sanitized version, and I still managed to point toward hope.

This hopeful story is for children identifying with a child from a split family home. Liam moves house adapting to life in a foster home. That comes after his mum becomes unwell. He faces many challenges around the changes, at the age of six. His coping strategy is to whistle instead of run away when he misses his mum and sister. He enjoys his new beginnings as he discovers he has things in common with seals, while getting the help of many superheroes. It is an empowering, empathetic story showing a young child successfully facing a time of transition. I use this picture book as a creative mentor for the Mighty Creatives charity.
