Come & See, Smell, Hear, Touch and Feel

Come & See, Smell, Hear, Touch and Feel

Come and let your child's imagination run wild - author of the 'Can I C' series and co-founder of YuuMii, Marcia Morales will be hosting exclusive interactive book reading events across Sydney in April and May.

Ideal for children, parents and carers, these free fun-filled sessions are based on exploring the five senses (sight, smell, sound, touch and feel) to enable children to express their individual creativity and intensify the child-parent relationship.

Filled with simple-to-follow activities including blowing bubbles, colouring-in competitions, face painting and a reading of "What Can I See - Chloe & Jack's Adventure Under the Sea" by Marcia Morales, these engaging events will offer a sneak peek at the second book already in development, "What Can I Hear - Chloe & Jack's Adventure in the Jungle".

"What Can I See - Chloe & Jack's Adventure Under the Sea" is an exciting tale about two friends who crawl inside a cardboard box in their garden only to find a magical underwater paradise within which they are asked to expand their horizons by engaging with various tastes, feelings, smells, sights and sounds of the creatures of the deep. With open ended questions scattered throughout encouraging children to participate, the story builds a stronger sense of self confidence and empowerment.

The 'Can I C' range is part of the YuuMii Tools For Modern Parents brand - a learning program designed to empower parents while educating their children in the arts, ecology, science, emotional intelligence and the senses. YuuMii gives every mother, father, and caregiver the ability to move through a day with purpose. YuuMii is based on experiential education, using children's instinctual curiosity, imagination and endless artistic ability to trigger the senses and boost creativity.

With a background of over 10 years in business development, consulting and marketing, specialising in teaching human relations and negotiation skills, Marcia Morales is originally from Northern California and now resides in Sydney. Mum to four year old Chloe, Marcia is a firm believer 'someday, little people will become big people with the opportunity to make a difference in the world'.
