Overview

In Walking the Pipeline, Jen and Herb return for another joyful summer adventure, this time set against the lush, fragrant backdrop of the Blue Mountains and Roaring River. From picking ripe fruit and watching horses gallop to fishing in the river and walking the long, water-filled pipeline, the story brims with vivid, nature-based play. Encouraged by stories of a magical castle filled with laughing children, Jen and Herb set out on a daring journey along the slippery, echoing pipeline. Along the way, they engage in imaginative chanting games, catch janga fish, and feast on juicy mangoes under a shady tree. But their playful journey takes a dramatic turn when a bull appears, chasing Herb through the bush and toward a beehive. With tension rising, a brave local farmer, Farmer John, swoops in just in time to save them. Herb's bee sting is treated with love and care, and the children make it safely home. As the story ends, the magical mystery of the castle is resolved when their father gently reveals, ""You are the children in the castle, having fun.""

Author Information

I attended the Froebel College Institute of Education, Roehampton, London, which majors in teaching about the development of the whole child: socially, academically emotionally, physically and spiritually. My early career took me into teaching young children in schools, lecturing, consulting, implementing, and developing stories for a flagship child to child project in rural Jamaica which is integrated into the Jamaican Ministry of Education's curriculum.Although my career has morphed into becoming an International Public Health Consultant, my passion has always been to write children's stories. I am driven by my knowledge of the importance of play for children's development and the gains made by honoring childhood.This story encapsulates memories of my childhood with my brother Herbie, who passed in an accident, and Jen, the author of the story. Our childhood was a happy one filled with fun, laughter, happiness, and pure joy.I exude these emotions intentionally and value giving our children a chance and space to play, have fun and enjoy their childhood years.
