Jada Mei Mathews' Plan - Gillingham, Kim

. .

Résumé :
Meet Jada Mei Mathews Jada has that niggly feeling. And, although, she isn't a particular fan of Charlotte's, in this case...she just might be right. There is definitely something different about her family photo. And it has nothing to do with being adopted and even less to do with her not having a dad. All of her friends have different families. Zuri's mum is from France and her dad South Africa. Jayden has a dad and a step-dad, John has two mums and Sasha lives with her grandparents. Some have have pets and others have siblings. But when Charlotte pointed out that Jada's family photo was strange...it got her thinking. Could she be right? With the help of her best friends, Zuri and Liam, Jada sets out on a mission to discover that something different. With a whole lot of biscuits and a huge does of trying, the three friends come up with a plan...and it's perfect. What could possibly go wrong? About the Author When Kim Gillingham was born in Toronto, Canada on a cold Christmas Eve, her mum said the first thing she did was turn around to look at the world. No doubt Kim was already looking for stories. As a baby, she would sing her heart out with her dad, long before she had the ability to speak. He wrote music, and she and her mum would listen to old records. She danced, participated in Speech Arts, and held the lead in her school's rendition of a modern-day Sleeping Beauty. Her imagination was wild and her discovery of science inspiring. Educated in Science Teaching and Writing, she has worked as a Photo Editor for the beloved Chirp, ChickaDEE and OWL magazines in Canada, and as a Science teacher for over 20 years in England and Shanghai. Kim currently resides in Shanghai, China, with her incredible daughter, and works as a Junior Science teacher. She is also the creator of dropThoughts4Kids that encourages children to wonder, think and discuss ideas with no boundaries. Jada Mei Mathews' Plan: Perfect stems from her desire to entice children to read, have a laugh and be exposed to different types of families. Plan: Perfect is the first in the Jada Mei Mathews series with an additional two set for publication next year.
