The Seven Natural Wonders of the Earth book and $50 #giveaway


I have a book series to tell you about today.  My First Travel Books were written by Anna Othitis.  We received The Seven Natural Wonders of the Earth for review purposes.

Being that I spend a lot of time teaching geography, I love that Anna included the flags of the countries where the Wonders are located!

Usually when I hear "Seven Wonders," I think of The Temple of Artemis or the Great Pyramids.  However, these are the natural wonders.  Amazing sites in our world, not created by human efforts.  The Seven Natural Wonders were identified by CNN in 1997.  Places like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia or our own Grand Canyon.

This book was a gentle way to expose my little girls, ages 4 and 8, to these natural wonders and to their locations on our planet.

About the Author
I lived and was raised in the beautiful land and country of Zimbabwe, Africa (home will always be home). We relocated to Wanaque, New Jersey, USA, our new home and where our younger son, Frankie, took up his “American Dream”.

 My husband George, sons Johnny, Elia and Frankie encouraged me to write my first children’s book titled My First Travel Book, which was inspired by Frankie (Captain Frankie). Given a wonderful opportunity, he graduated in his Masters degree in Aeronautical Science, and is successful in his career as a professional pilot. My favorite saying is: “Be Bold Be Brave”.

My dream is to be given the opportunity for my book to reach each and every less fortunate child who will have the opportunity to fantasy travels through our book to see our lovely world destinations, and to one day to give back and assist the needy in Africa and beyond, to keep giving care and love to the less fortunate. Whilst in Zimbabwe I was involved with many charitable organizations and groups where my greatest passion and love was with the primitive, simple people of Zimbabwe, Africa and will still continue to reach out to the many beautiful children of the world.

Now living in the USA, after having traveled some short and some long journeys, to get to our final destination, we realize how small this world really is, yet is also so big and so beautiful in each and every corner. Still so much is untouched by humans, which will hopefully remain sacred in many areas. We have to cherish every and all beautiful things that our planet earth has to offer to us.
