Freedom, Myra
MyLocker is aMonster
My locker is amonster
It’s definitely not handy
It’s not even sweet, as
Mint flavored candy
It likes to eat
My books, pens and pencils
It even likes to eat
My drawings andmy stencils
I need to domy homework
But how shall I manage
With all my pens and pencils
All so badly damaged
Can you giveme a solution
Towhat should I do
Maybe I shouldmove
Or hidemy things in the loo

She narrated the book that she authored, which revolves
around the adventure of two young sisters on a mysterious
island. The children were so engrossed, they could not stop
asking about the characters even though the storytelling
session has ended. The children also received some
colouring sheets and stickers –much to their delight. Thank
