Pearls of Wisdom

This is a story for children from all ages to enjoy. It will also appeal to the inner child in all of us. The story is set in Fiji, a beautiful island in the Pacific. We meet four brothers who live in a rural community. All they have is their parents, their home, their surroundings and themselves. This brings them very close to one another. They live a very uncomplicated life. They enjoy the simple life and simple games. Older people will recall some of these experiences which they must have had when they were children. By the end of the story, the four brothers learn about some very important lessons that life will teach them as they grow up into adulthood.

Radha grew up in Fiji and trained to be a High School teacher. She worked in the Ministry of Education for many years, writing and producing radio programmes for schools. She is now working as a teacher aide in a High School in New Zealand. She has always loved reading and writing stories and poems. "While reading my active immaginative mind would visualise everything I read. Weeks after I'd finish a story book, the characters would still be with me. Scenes would still be flashing past in my mind. I also loved telling stories. I loved acting them out. I'd make my young audiences cry or laugh" She hopes when children read this story they too will enjoy it as she did when she was a child.
