Placid Pamela

Some things take time, and this tale’s journey is truly extraordinary. Placid Pamela is one of four fables conceived over 30 years ago. Today, it emerges as a testament to the author’s perseverance, offering a chance to share his vision with the world.The whole reason for not just Placid Pamela but also the other three is that Mr Bright’s daughter Kristina was born with cerebral palsy in 1988 and is classed as nonverbal which means that she cannot speak. That being so her soft toys became something she could relate to one of which was a panda.Now 36 and receiving full-time care, Kristina still holds onto her panda, alongside a tiger, an elephant, and a bear. These toys, enduring symbols of her childhood, serve as the inspiration for three additional fables to follow Placid Pamela. Written during Kristina’s youth, Mr. Bright believes these stories will captivate not only young readers but also offer parents a meaningful experience to share with their children.

Footprints in the Snow

“What’s that sound?” Katrina gasped, snatching at her friend’s sleeve.

“Oh, nothing really,” Mack answered casually. “Just a bird.”

But the animal that jumped out in front of them on the path was definitely not a bird – it was a mountain lion! Mack and Katrina stared at it in bewilderment, vaguely wondering what was going to happen next. The children had already been startled out of their wits, so when the creature stepped closer, snarling and growling ferociously, they just turned and hastily scurried away.

As he stumbled blindly along, Mack felt a warm spurt of blood suddenly trickling down his arm, but he ignored it in the great hope of reaching home safely before the mountain lion could make another swipe at one of them. Mack expected the vicious animal to attack him from behind at any given moment. Then he became aware that the noise had faded slightly…

Could the mountain lion be stalking them silently? Risking a momentary glance over his shoulder, what the frantic boy saw only made him run even faster than ever – the wild animal was still giving chase!
