THE FLITLITS
About Introductory Book 11 / DAME LaCONK / Supported Reading / UK English Version
A young girl grew up like no other as a kindly Nature Mother.
Dame LaConk, her grown-up name, suits the wise and caring dame.
Her true name stays among her tales, hidden at a windy vale.
A large, grand acorn fills the space found between her waist and face.
Her adult clothes are plain and clean. They cover skin of mossy green.
As a girl, she made up brews. These healed so many cuts and wounds.
In the soil, she planted seeds. She learned to float and swim with speed.
ST0RY 11 is rare to tell but if you share it, treat it well.
The young girl floated with a bee and found a Wish Dish on a tree.
A Wish Dish scroll rolled out and grew. The young girl grasped it as it flew.
Discover why this found a spring twanging and pranging - ping, ping, ping.
Follow an object spreading out before it joins up with a snout.
The snout smells bother, round and about.
There is hardly a thing that it fails to smell out.
The dame's Shall-Tell Bell and Know-All Ball care for the Flitlits, one and all.

Eiry Rees Thomas grew up in Wales/U.K. among a creative family embracing a poet, calligrapher/sculptor, illustrators and a cartoonist. The coal-mining community where she spent her formative years was mostly Welsh-speaking, with the English language being introduced to the school curriculum at the age seven level. The musicality of the Welsh language is apparent in the author's unique lyrical voice, described in Welsh as 'telynegol' or harp-like, true to her Celtic roots. Her love of writing bilingually from an early age was given expression following a serious accident. This ended her career as a public health practitioner, peripatetic teacher and medical translator. Her experiences in the field of child development and the privilege of having worked with children and families with additional needs contribute to her work as an author and curriculum content creator.
