Reading from his book and discussing it with the audience
‘Erica’s Light. A Journey of Kindness’ by Eric McNamara, is a children’s story following Erica’s quest to connect with woodland fairies, a journey driven by her desire to deliver a special message to her deceased grandmother. Her belief in magic and kindness leads her to encounter not only fairies but also a lonely Gentle Giant, who, through Erica’s compassion, finds the strength to overcome past hurts. Together, they inspire their town with a message of kindness and understanding, demonstrating the transformative power of empathy and friendship. The narrative explores themes of grief, healing, and the importance of believing in the power of one’s dreams. The story culminates in a community event where the Gentle Giant shares his story, fostering a collective spirit of kindness and hope for all.
