“Lenny the Lying Lemur” completed and at the printers The second book in the “Francy and Friends” series by RU4Kidz, “Lenny the Lying Lemur” has finished production. Byron’s next lesson from the Bible draws on the story of Joseph from Genesis. It teaches children that lying leads to trouble and hurts others through Francy meeting a lying Lemur called Lenny. Lenny learns what it is like to have real friends for the first time and just how much trouble you can cause when you don’t tell the truth! Jen has read the story to over 60 children to gauge their understanding and feedback from the story. the feedback from the focus groups has been positive! One of the children said “I loved this story better than “Francy the Fearful Firefly”, it’s the best story yet. “Lenny the Lying Lemur” is due for release in November 2009 |

Francy flies author Jen Anderson back to Danebank On Monday 7th April 2008, Jen and Francy visited Danebank Anglican Girls School for Chapel. With a tear dripping from her nose Jen walked in front of the front door of the Danebank Office. It was 20 years since the School Captain from 1988 had returned to the playground. Things had changed so much. Miss Bird, Danebank Principal took Jen on a tour of the school which is beautiful. Chapel was for girls in years Kindergarten to Year 4. The girls enjoyed the story and had many more questions than Jen had time to answer. Francy was read whilst a powerpoint displayed each page. Jen reminded the girls to have FUN, F = Fear not for God is with you, U = Us, share your fear with a person who can help you, and N = Not in your strength, but in God’s strength and power Through this Jen reminded the girls that God is greater than all our fears. Special thanks to Miss Bird, Danebank Principal, Mrs Williams, Danebank Chaplain, Mrs Whitham (Personal Assistant to Miss Bird) for helping to organise, support and co-ordinate Francy and Jen’s visit to Danebank. |
