Greenwin is proud to share that long-time resident, Tracee, is releasing her first-ever children’s book, Where Do I Fit?
The story is about a circle that embarks on a journey to find a friend, but instead becomes a hero. As the circle navigates through many places around the world he overcomes adversity through kindness.
Tracee has dedicated over 30 years to the field of Early Childhood Education. During that time she studied child development, creative art, creative writing, and children’s literature. In 2008 she was nominated by her colleagues for the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in the Early Childhood Education field.
Last week, we got to sit down for a Q&A with Tracee to learn more about her new book. Here’s what she had to say:
- How long have you been writing?
I have always had a passion for creative writing from a very early age. However, I truly began to appreciate children’s literature when I entered the field of Early Childhood Education at the early age of 14.
- What inspired you to write this book?
I wanted to design a story about kindness that resonates with everyone. This is my first children’s book and I hope to write many more in the coming years as I continue to learn about children’s literature.
- What does the title mean?
The title is based on the question that the main character asks during the story as he navigates through his adventure.
- What did you learn while writing the book?
Writing and illustrating this book has taught me a lot about my own inner strength. I have overcome many obstacles during the process over the past two years and I think I am finally learning where I fit in in this world.
- Where can people purchase your book?
Currently my book can be ordered on Amazon in eBook form by clicking here. I also have world wide print-on-demand options coming soon to many retailers by the summer of 2022!
