An Element of Fun

A fun, imaginative and entertaining story for children 5 to 8 about self-esteem, courage and living harmoniously. Written in a humorous rhyme with beautiful illustrations by Meegan Parkee, An Element of Fun is about the elements of fire, water, earth, air and thunder and lightning learning a life-changing lesson.

The elements have been bragging about being the most important one, and the Sun is tired of listening to them. So he gives them a test to see which one of them is the best. Each element thinks the test is so easy they are certain to win. But the Sun knows in his great wisdom that the elements are going to learn an important lesson about ego and bullying.

Maggie's imaginative, humorous and educational debut children's book, An Element of Fun was written with an objective to help 5 to 8 year old children learn about courage, self-esteem and living harmoniously with each other. It started out as a play for children. When she is not writing, Maggie may be found on the Sydney whale-watching boat, walking in the natural bush that surrounds her lower north shore Sydney home, or hanging out with friends at a local café or restaurant. Maggie also enjoys watching a well-made and thought-provoking film. You can visit Maggie at: https: //mlwriter.wixsite.com/writer
