03.01.2022 Character Plushies! I've always dreamed of this for one of my books and now it's happened. I created and developed these characters and their story years ago. Thanks to the artistic talent of Anna Sübauer who brought my characters to life visually and to the amazing foresight and energy of the team at DMind & the Prince Education, the dream has been realised. My book and these characters now venture out into the world. Sometimes you need to pause, reflect, and enjoy the moment. This is one of those rare times. Today is a Happy Day for me.
