The Little White Owl, bizim favori ingilizce kitabımız. Dünyayı dolaşmak isteyen küçük beyaz baykuş rengarenk baykuşlarla karşılaşır, onlara hikayelerini anlatmak ister ama beyaz olduğu için onunla arkadaş olmak istemezler...Ama beyaz baykuşun harika hikayelerini dinlemeye başladıktan sonra fikirleri değişir. Harika illüstrasyonlar Jane Chapman tarafından yapılmış, renkler de süper :)
"One day, a little white owl sets off to see the world. When he meets some beautiful, colourful owls he cant wait to share his toast and all of his happy stories. But these pretty owls do not want to be friends with a plain, little owl like him."
Tracey Corderoy
I was born and grew up in industrial South Wales where factory chimneys outnumbered the sheep on the hills!
When I was eighteen I moved to Bath where I trained to be a primary school teacher, graduating in 1987 with a First Class Honours Degree.
When my eldest daughter was born, I decided to leave teaching to spend time at home being a mum and to try to improve my cooking skills (which are still not good!).
More recently, I have supported children in primary schools where I have implemented literacy programmes and re-integrated children returning to school following periods of long-term illness. It was during this time that I became passionate about writing for children - convinced that language, expressed through wonderful literature, is the key that stimulates learning and imagination.
I now live in a hidden valley, surrounded by sheep, wild deer and cows with big fluffy ears! Along with my husband and two daughters, I share an ancient cottage with a huge Golden Retriever called Dylan (from Pontypool), two cats, guinea pigs and a teeny mini-lop eared rabbit who makes loud ducky noises!
