Christina Francine

​

I've always found writing fun and a form of play. Pretending to open any door I wanted to try. One minute the backyard was an exciting far away planet, and the next a beckoning jungle. Play is limitless and is where creativity and invention live. Writing today is an extension of childhood for me, one where imagination and fun rule. Although at times it is hard work, it still brings happiness.

 

As an educator, I'd like to see students connect learning to play because not only does learning then become more interesting, but when tied with individuality, invention is the result. How are world problems solved? Well, through invention and being open to various ways of looking at things.

 

Thank you for visiting my site. My wish is for you to have more fun.
