NEW ACTIVITY PAGES

Our focus book is The Glassmaker’s Daughter by Dianne Hofmeyr, illustrated by Jane Ray

A wealthy glassmaker, worried about his miserable daughter, offers a glass palace to anyone who can make her smile. Many try but they all fail until a young glassmaker comes up with a great idea.

This is a well told story in fairy tale style about finding happiness within ourselves. The beautiful illustrations are likely to inspire children’s own artwork.
