Gabriella's Magic Ball
Gabriella's Magic Ball
Little Gabriella loves gymnastics! Her gymnastics teacher, Ms. Nelly, presents Gabriella with the beautiful gymnastic ball. And after practice the little gymnast falls asleep in her mom's car holding her magic ball only to wake up in ... Ancient Greece, the birth place of gymnastics. Gabriella experiences a day in a life of a typical school child from Ancient Greece and learns all about gymnastics and other amazing things children in Ancient Greece had to learn, from Astronomy to Rhetoric. Things were very different for children back then. But were they? It looks like fun play during recess, tasty school lunches, strict but kind teachers, as well as making new friends and learning lots of useful and fascinating things were part of childhood as much then as it is now. Embark with Gabriella on a fascinating journey through time from a modern day Miami to ancient Athens!
Julie G Fox, Author and Founder of Clever Fox Press Ltd.
When I came up with the idea for my first book 'Goodbye, Emma' which tells a story of a child refugee forced to leave his dog behind, I decided to start my own charitable publishing venture that would raise funds and awareness for children refugees around the world. And so, Clever Fox Press was born, a company dedicated to all children refugees. We work with charities assisting children refugees in England, Canada, Germany, Greece, Iraq, Ukraine and Turkey. Through a unique collaboration with artists and toy makers around the world, we’ve created more than 20 children’s books since January 2016, and more books are on the way. We treat children how they want to be treated – as intelligent human beings who can comprehend and explore the many social and scientific issues our stories touch on.
