The Pinksie project is all about inspiring children to use their imagination and motivating them to find solutions to help others.
It is a collaboration between imaginative kids and very passionate grown-ups (mostly mums). Together we write stories, publish books, run workshops in schools, organise auctions and raise funds for charities. The involvement of children and the community is at the heart of the project.
The book Pinksie the Whale is our first venture. The tale is a delightful voyage of self-discovery in which Pinksie, a blue whale, overcomes her fears of being different when her skin turns as pink as strawberry icing on a cupcake. Pinksie journeys across the oceans and encounters Booby, a blue-footed seabird; Armando, a red-breasted Frigatebird and a host of other real and fantastic creatures that show her that difference should be celebrated and not hidden.
All proceeds from the sale of this book are being donated to the Louis Dundas Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital. The centre takes an active approach towards the care of children with life-limiting and life-threatening illness.
You can buy the book via the Amazon bookstore (www.amazon.co.uk) or Pinksie website (www.pinksie.com)
