ONE POPULAR CHILDREN'S BOOK SERIES AUTHOR'S QUEST

by Kimberly Wickham

School is a boring place, you might hear some middle-school students say, filled with busy work and useless repetition. Philosophy or quantum physics for kids? No way - far more likely that they'll be too swamped with mindless memorization and an over-structured system that cares more about test scores and rote learning than about understanding the world around them. But one educator, children's book author Kimberly Wickham, of the acclaimed "Angels and Horses" book series, is seeking to change all that, not only through her books, but also through a series of school visits and speaking engagements intended to inspire young children to think "outside the box," and beyond the cosmic lattice...

Kimberly Wickham's philosophy, which she expresses in the three books of her "Angels and Horses" children's book series, including Angels and Horses, Summer of Magic Horses, and the forthcoming Angels, Horses, and Other Worldly Lessons, is based on the law of attraction, a concept first brought to national attention with the publication of "The Secret" in 2007. According to this law, it is possible to change the universe for the better by affecting it at the quantum level - simply by positive thinking and excited inquiry about the world around us.

And nobody is more capable of inquiry, WIckham says, than children, who "have a natural capacity for philosophical thought." Therefore, Wickham advocates a curriculum of holistic learning, teaching to a child's skills and interests and challenging him or her to think critically and to enjoy learning, rather than merely "teaching to the test."

Therefore, Wickham is launching upon a new schools tour, aimed at bringing the love of learning - and an awareness of the Law of Attraction - to the lives of children everywhere. The tour will kick off shortly after the publication of the newest book in the Angels and Horses series, "Angels, Horses, and Other Worldly Lessons," this summer.
