Roshni Talwar

Lennie, the pink sea turtle Roshni Talwar

Lennie, the pink sea turtle is an original story illustrated and narrated by a 7 years old girl called Roshni. She worked industriously and diligently and carefully drew the drawings and asked her mommy to write the text of the story which Roshni dictated herself. In the early school years, most children struggle to blend in with other children. In this fitting-in process, they sometimes become overly self critical and start feeling insecure that they are not as good as others and even forget to appreciate their own qualities and abilities. Being herself in the primary school years, Roshni, at a tender age of 7, not only recognises this struggle, but also portrays a positive outlook through this sweet and simple story of a young turtle, to help herself and other young children her age, realise how believing in oneself and taking pride in one's abilities can help them discover new qualities and find their true potential which remains hidden until they begin to accept, love and appreciate themselves as they are, who they are . Her creative endeavour inspired her parents to publish the story in a book format. As wished by Roshni, 90% of the proceeds from this book will be donated for the help of underprivileged children. A published children's story book written and illustrated by a child for other children. Roshni hopes you enjoy reading her story.
