Author Description

With one gigantic stroke, it seems, the Great Artist of the universe created for us a magical kingdom, teeming with excitement and adventure. The West Indies, a tiny gem within this vast expanse, displays tremendous variety and beauty in its own unique way. Its people, ‘multicultural and multiracial’, add to this fantastic panoramic masterpiece, and I am grateful and happy to have had the chance to live, observe, explore and come to appreciate this wonderful place. My hope is that you too will find reasons to laugh out loud, be joyful, even grateful as you leaf through the pages of this book. Educator, Author and Composer, Sheila (Sheils) Thompson has once again released her creative powers and produced this compilation of stories and poems, Rainbow Valley. As the title suggests, this is a colourful collection that is sure to entertain readers of all ages. Ms. Thompson, the name she has heard thousands of times from her many students, is accustomed to creating stories and poems that keep children’s attention, and they eagerly await these ‘Story’ times in her classroom.
