Kids experience events very differently from adults, which means that stories or poems that have little impact on grown-ups can deeply move and resonate with children. Sometimes, the best storyteller for a kid is another kid.
In My Eleven Year Old Ramblings, young author Vasavi shares her short stories and poems with other children. Her tales of adventure and friendship include journeys into space, dance contests, and fights with predatory thugs. A strong theme of self-realization runs through her stories, as characters discover what they need to succeed. Friendship is particularly important to Vasavi, who sums up her feelings with the simple, but evocative, statement: "Friends sacrifice for each other."
In addition to twelve short stories, Vasavi's literary collection also includes twenty-three poems, and it's through her poetry that adults can best see the writer she will become. Lyrical and complex, her poems deal with emotional topics as important to adults as they are to children-anger, sadness, fear, and happiness.
Come explore Vasavi's wild and rambling imagination-it's sure to be an insightful and exciting ride!
About the Author: Vasavi is an eleven-year-old girl who emphatically loves writing. She has always written poetry and is proud to finally publish a book of her poems and short fiction for the world to see.
The meanings of Vasavi's stories are not always apparent from an adult's viewpoint, because she writes for-and with-a child's mind. Ecstatic about her debut publication, My Eleven Year Old Ramblings, she looks forward to growing as a writer in the years to come and is thankful to have a lovely family who encourages her passion.
