Grandma Dorothy's Books

This book was written for: Children who love to read. Parents looking for a bedtime story. Teachers who enjoy reading to their pupils. All story tellers who enliven the action with voice inflection, and gestures.

There is a little country town not far from Canberra in Australia, and this is where all of these adventures take place. Max is only five years old and his sister is a little younger. They live in a house just outside of town with their parents Kerrie and Michael. Max has just started school while Madison is attending kindergarten. Both children are very interested in the world around them and are eager to learn new and interesting things. Max is also practising to be a magician. Across the road from their home is a large area of native Australian forest where many bush animals and birds live together, this is called a national park. Joe MacDonald and his wife Mrs Jill have a farm nearby where they keep dairy cows, chickens, geese, ducks and bee hives. They make a living by selling their produce at the weekly market near town. There always seems to be something happening around this area and Max and Madison are usually involved somehow. They are joined sometimes by their friends, the Baker cousins.

To all my readers and everyone who buys this book, thank you! I know it's hard to write a story of your life when every life is a story-but maybe, because I had the courage and the drive to write my story, maybe you can now write yours. I know how hard it is to face challenges and wonder sometimes if you can ever make it. So, I didn't write this book because I'm rich or famous. I wrote this book to give you courage and hope and to let you know you are never alone in this big old world. If I can help just one person, then my life and this book will be worth it. I wrote this for the child facing months in bed for a disease they don't understand, for the single mother trying to keep it all together, for the wife who has to kiss a dying husband one last time, for the mother who hears her child is dying, for those with cancer facing chemo, for everyone who has ever been discouraged. I want to be your ray of sunshine and show you that you can go on and that life can truly be beautiful-one day and one step at a time. For as long as we wake up, we can listen to the music of life, and we can dance! So, dance till the music stops! Never Give Up and Never Give In You CAN reach the mountain top! No matter how tough LIFE seems, Just follow your dreams and Dance Till The Music Stops! Love, Joyce
