Book cover titled "Through Greta's Eyes," part of the Greta series by Rosemary Pattison, featuring illustrated trees, a sun, and a little girl called Greta looking in awe at butterflies under a tree.

Through Greta’s Eyes - Like many mums, Greta‘s mum is always on her phone. One Saturday Greta says, “Mum you are missing out,” and takes her out for a walk without her phone. Mum gets to see the world differently. She smells beautiful lavender that is growing in the neighbour’s garden, she hears magpies talking to each other and she sees colours as if she had just been given new sight.

The Kindness Community has a kindness expert visit. Our current world is full of influencers (some are great) and experts (some self appointed). This expert isn’t actually kind. He just talks about kindness. He learns more than he brings to the kindness community prompting discussions about walking the walk, and authentically living. Meanwhile the princesses are quietly strong, and consistent, intentional leaders who carry on their authentic style of leadership.
