Easy X Times Tables

Over 4,000 years ago, Babylon introduced multiplication. Then, 1,500 years later, the Greeks unveiled geometry. And during the Islamic Golden Age, the world was graced with the advent of algebra.

The overarching goal of Easy X Times Tables is to highlight the profound influence of such mathematical breakthroughs on our world.

Our mission is to redefine how children perceive mathematics, emphasizing its ever-evolving nature and its deep-rooted impact on our existence.

By igniting young imaginations, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation not just for numbers, but for their intricate dance with the universe.

Dive in and discover how mathematics has shaped, and continues to shape, our world.

Ebony Makes A Big Orange Wish (Book 1)

After visiting her grandmother, Mrs Wonders, Mummy and Ebony have set about making an extraordinary cat cake. Ebony had certain ideas about the cake, colour, size, and length of whiskers.  

After a fall from a slide during her party, knocking her two front teeth out, her teeth were lost, no one could find Ebony’s teeth. They had hidden themselves and were very angry at not having the grand falling out ceremony they had planned.  

Ebony’s mummy is Fairy Queen of All Realms. Ebony doesn’t really understand any of that, she often thinks she sees a glimpse of gold above Mummy’s head or hears the gentle beat of butterfly wings but isn’t sure. Mummy allows Ebony to make her wish. Her BIG ORANGE WISH. The fun begins.

Edna the Witch

Edna isn’t your ordinary witch; she’s mischievous and delightful in equal measure. With several centuries under her belt, she has a quirky perspective on life and often finds herself in humorous predicaments, especially when she regards the folks around her as the odd ones.

Unlike us mere mortals, Edna isn’t bound by the usual consequences. Groundings? Docked allowances? Confiscated gadgets? Not for Edna, who amusingly thinks a tablet is just a remedy for headaches. Running low on gold coins? A quick spell showers her with riches. If only ‘them humans,’ as she fondly refers to us, could have it that easy!

Edna has a soft spot for her menagerie of pets, whether it’s her playful dog, melodious budgie, cuddly cat, or even her massive dinosaur. (Who knew a brontosaurus could be so endearing?) While she often finds humanity a tad irksome, she’s managed to coexist with the teeming billions of us. As for humanity ever fully embracing Edna’s peculiar charm? Well, that remains to be seen!

Education In Sounds And Rhythm: Peter And The Wolf

Prokofiev Sergei was a Russian musician born in Sosnovka in 1891. He died in Moscow in 1953. He wrote many symphony compositions, characterised by a simple style and by a vigorous rhythmic energy. Among his compositions, we recall the fairy tale ‘‘Peter and the wolf’’. It is a beautiful fairy tale told through musical instruments. The presentations of work are covered in a strict dialogue between a grandfather and his young nephew. Our imagination is captured by the main characters: Peter, the cat, the bird, the duck, the wolf, the hunters, the grandfather and from the musical instruments: the strings, the clarinet, the flute, the oboe, the horn, the timpani and the bassoon that personify and alternate the speech of these characters.

Elsa and The Motmot

Elsa Toussaint lies in bed, finding it difficult to sleep with the excitement of knowing she will be staying with her grandparents at their beachside home in Toco, Trinidad, for a month. From the time her parents drive Elsa through Toco and she sees her old friend Nora, Elsa understands that the holiday will be fun. Elsa and Nora soon re-unite, and Elsa develops a new friendship in the form of a parrot her animal-loving Aunt Lily had adopted, Simon. The trio of friends work together to save the life of a baby bird that has fallen out of the infamous mango tree, gaining another friend in the process, a Motmot bird that Elsa later names Motty. When rescuing the baby Motmot, Nora enlists the aid of one of her friends, Colin. Colin is a nice boy but still immature enough to both make fun of Elsa being deaf and the fact that he saw her underwear when she climbed the mango tree.

Emphasis

For our protagonist, life was great.

Then life wasn’t so great.

As a child, being bullied is quite possibly one of the worst experiences you can have.

This little story offers a resolution.

It’s a story of empathy and friendship.

It’s about overcoming your fears and reaching out for help.

It’s also about understanding how intimidating behaviour can have a huge effect on others.

Nobody should experience bullying...EVER!
