Audiobooks are a wonderful way to develop children's creativity as they have to imagine the scenes that are being described.

They are also a great way to get reluctant readers into storytelling and also help to develop children's emotional intelligence as they listen to how words are used.

For each of the children's books I have written, I have created an audio component working with stage and screen actor Michael Maloney for stories which have been read in full.

You can listen to my audiobook collection here, as a free resource, to ignite children's interest in storytelling and creativity!

As the founder of the Natural Born Thinkers Podcast, I try to live my most creative lifestyle daily.

In addition to my problem-solving workshop business and podcast, I also write children's books where I can exercise my creativity freely.

This very short episode of the podcast is a recording of a lullaby for my upcoming children's book of the same title, "Lily's Lullaby".

The lullaby is about the magic of dreams and is designed to inspire children to fall asleep and receive their nightly dreams from dream fairies.

The book, about an aspiring dream fairy called Lily, will be out Winter 2025 - my dream come true!

In this episode I am speaking with David Pearl, founder of the social venture Street Wisdom and author of the book, "Wanderful; Find wonder in the everyday, everyday!"

This conversation is a gentle stroll through the idea and impact of wandering, that is to say, to go outside and wander with no other ambition than to let our feet take our brains for a walk.

David discusses how we are built to wander and that in an increasingly screen-based and linguistic world, physically wandering in the city streets can provide us with a playground of creative opportunity.

David shares how Street Wisdom walkshops, which are free for all, help you to go through the looking glass and into a world where extraordinary serendipities can be discovered if you are willing to simply slow down, awaken your senses and see!
