I always knew as a child that growing up to be an adult was a scary thing. And how true that turned out to be. One of the most terrifying things was that I had to carry responsibility on my shoulders and do right by others so my children would emulate my actions. That was truly the hardest part; however, of course, it is easier said than done. Adults make the most mistakes in life, not the children. Most of the time, children live with the mistakes of their parents. They go wayward when not given the proper guidance - how tragic. However, children are allowed to learn from mistakes, whereas an adult would have to bear the consequences.

How do we change the world for the better if not through our beloved children? They are our only hope for a turnaround, given the situations we are facing across the globe today. Listen to the children, see the fear in their eyes, and the sadness they carry on their tiny shoulders when fate plays a wicked role in their lives.

Recently, a child was killed by another schoolmate who carried knives in his bag. I can't for the life of me understand what possessed him to commit the violence against another fellow student, which turned fatal in the end. What about the victim? The poor child's fate was sealed by a schoolmate who had so much hate and anger in his heart. What is happening that even children are losing their minds and going out of control?

The Adventures of Tiny Star

New Publication by #PublishDrive - Read about the adorable Tiny Star who slips and falls from a cloud and what happens when it lands and gets stuck in the Earth's crust.

#The Adventures of Tiny Star is an adorable story I wrote for a very special young man. He turned six on 27th August. I was more excited for him, and began crafting this story a couple of weeks before.

It has everything a child will love - adventure, intrigue, and it will bring on that infectious smile with the antics of the forest animals.

The Adventures of Tiny Star

Trapped in Earth's Crust

by Shobana Gomes

Book 1 - First Edition

Synopsis

Tiny Star slipped and fell off the clouds one day. Oh boy—what an adventure that turned out to be! He landed face down, burning a great big hole in the ground, and tumbled deep into Earth’s crust.

Nightingale and Owl saw everything. They trembled as the ground shook and spewed thick black clouds.

All the plants and animals of the forest were covered in soot and struggled to breathe. They heard Tiny’s cries for help... but who could save him?

Well, someone could. A mysterious black cloak of smoke circled Tiny and carried him away to the sea.

Read how Tiny Star was rescued and reunited with his friends in the constellation—an adventure full of wonder, courage, and cosmic magic.
