Spotlight on Susan at WeHive on Etsy



"Teach them well and let them lead the way"


A MEMBER OF CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE 
ETSY TEAM 



My name is Susan and I live with my family in city of Maple Ridge in beautiful British Columbia, Canada about an hour outside of Vancouver home of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

I am married to my husband of 20 years and have a son age 19 and daughter age 9 and our loyal dog age 6. Literacy is so important in our world today and that is why I wanted to do something that involved children and reading. When I was a child I enjoyed reading but it was a hard start for me. I didn’t understand the relationship between the letters and sounds and the combination of both to make a word. Although I had teachers, parents and friends trying to help me I just didn’t get it. The breakthrough came when I received a book called “Susan’s Secret Garden”. It changed my whole world. First I could imagine myself as the character, which created some excitement in me and second I knew what my name looked like in print. The problem was I just didn’t understand why my name had to look that way with those certain letters. I knew the sounds of all the letters but didn’t quite get the connection. When I received the book the first thing was excitement because the book was about me. Then the story was fun. I had it read to me over and over. Soon I was looking at the book myself after having heard it often and memorizing most of it. After that I was starting to put things together myself as far as reading went. I finally wanted to read and was excited about it rather than afraid. I am so grateful for that book. I still have it after 38 years and will treasure it forever.

The books I make have wonderful stories that include your child’s information throughout. The child will become the “Star of the Story”. The story books include a dedication from the gift giver so that the child will always remember who gave them this special gift and for what occasion. Friends or family can also join them in the story. The story will be placed in the city or town in which they live in and more. Children love these books and they help encourage reading at any level. I have rhyming and counting for pre-readers to sports and adventure books for older readers and all kinds in between. There are many titles to collect and more are coming soon!

* The most important lessons in team-play are friendship and sportsmanship. After anxiously sleeping 
the night before the competition, your child feels muscle soreness and wonders how he or she will perform.
It turns out that the pain was too much to play well and the opposing team disappointingly wins the game. 
Of course the coach gives praise to your child’s team for “giving 100 percent” but sadness over the loss 
is dismissed after the game when all the team-mates joke and have fun with your child. All the
players get a “participation trophy” for their efforts and these are the greatest lessons of team sports.
