Introduce your children to the World of the Magic Sunglasses

Magic Sunglasses Workshops

Auriel is working with teachers to develop simple interactive workshops to run alongside the book, whereby children can be guided to discover their special value and see how this can help them in their everyday lives.

The emphasis will be on taking the value concept out of the book and into life - looking at values, role models etc. The emphasis will be on fun and learning.

Each workshop will feature a Magic Sunglasses competition, whereby each child will end up making their own pair of Magic Sunglasses. There will be a free book for the two best entries as judged by the children.

children to look for what they are good at --even as an adult I need reminding of my self  worth

 It empowers children to recognise their own strengths – encourages self esteem to be raised – useful to explore feelings

Debbie Stockwell – learning mentor

It is really friendly and thought provoking enabling children to relate to characters of similar age and experience – recommended to share with their brothers and sisters

Kirsten Tootell - teacher

Great for self esteem and raising confidence in children and for sharing feelings children may not feel confident in sharing

Emma Thompson – teacher

We need more books like this. Books that encourage children to believe in themselves and cultivate internal self worth that isn't dependent on them looking, speaking, thinking or acting in the same way as everyone else.
