There’s the tit for tat, the prettiest flower, the sad toys, the proud peacock, journey to the moon and Singapore and more… in Shelley’s World of Imagination

The size of the book may seem too small to hold the world of imagination of a fine young mind, but the neat collection of 18 small stories shows the way. It takes the reader beyond the world of imagination – deeper into the young girl’s mind, man, his world and the meaning of his existence.

The World of Imagination is not about fairy tales with great endings, but the short stories written in simple words and expressions of a young unsullied mind reach out even to an adult reader, sometimes, with a strong message subtly delivered in a simple ending.

The book reminds one of moral science, once a part of school curriculum years ago. However, dedicated to her teachers, the book does not teach, after all it’s a children book, but brings out the more often overlooked small details of life–the best lesson one could learn. The small book shows you the world and ways of man and life through the world of a child’s imagination.

Beginning form the first story, the book serves as a much needed reminder of the purpose of one’s existence. And takes the reader further to the window to  man’s vanity and the futility of it all.

The 18 stories, simply told in just 72 pages, wheels you back to your childhood days and back to the reality of life.

Each story never failing to inspire, the book closes with a stark reminder to teachers, parents and children the need of a healthy mind for holistic growth of an individual.

If there is a message in a bottle, there are thousand messages for you from the young author in this small book. A truly gifted story teller, the author’s attempt to make the world a better place through her journey of discovery is clearly visible in the book.

Published by the Notionpress.com, the World of Imagination also reveals the beauty, courage and strength of a young mind – the author, Shelly Mishra, a student of class eight, in a school in Shimla.

And…, life continues like the present continuous tense…, and she will keep inspiring the world by her good work.
