The Gifted Kid Book Series.jpg

Gloria van Donge's new series for gifted kids

August 2, 2017

Congrats to Gloria van Donge on the publication of her

Gifted Kid Book Series

comprising Coming Ready or Not, Custom Built, Color my Boots, Catch On and Can You Believe It

Published by Ocean Reeve Publishing, in hardback

for ages 2-6; especially gifted children.

These 5 picture books created a doorway into the world of the gifted and talented child and stimulate dialogue between gifted children and adults. The main characters are a family of cheetah cubs who display 5 areas of giftedness.

The aim is to help gifted children realise that 'being gifted' is normal for them. The series is written and graphically illustrated on a child's level, but also makes adults aware of issues that the gifted child could face.

Great idea - congrats again Gloria!
