title: The Gnome King: The Elemental Kingdom, Book 1 (Volume 1)
author:  Pamela Sue Hickein 
description: Shhh... don't tell anyone, but I'm a grown-up fairy who uses her pixie dust to cook and clean, do the laundry and weed the garden. I'm also a master right brain teacher-trainer, mother of four awesome grown-up children, graphic artist, reiki healer, and now a happy, busy grandma. (More pixie dust, please!) I've spent years teaching children, parents and teachers how to learn with the right side of the brain, how to speed read, how to create a large mental library of facts and images. But, after all these years, I realize that none of it matters unless a child is willing to apply what they know to a higher purpose... to make the world a better place. My hope is that my books contain just the right mixture of education, wisdom, values and adventure to inspire your child to use his or her God-given gifts for the greater good... with a few giggles along the way. --------------------------------------------- Pamela Sue Hickein is the creator of Wink and TweedleWink--groundbreaking right brain learning systems used in homes and schools across the globe. Author of "Right Brain Education: How to Change the World--One Heart at a Time," Hickein believes the way to a child's mind is through creativity, imagination, loving-kindness, play, and good humor. Pamela currently lives in North Carolina with her family, pets and fairy friends. For more information about Pamela's work with right brain education, please visit: www.rightbrainkids.com
