Imagination Korner started in the simplest way - with a white binder full of stories. What began as short lessons I wrote for my children slowly grew into a pile of adventures tucked into the corner of our living room. One October afternoon, my oldest daughter asked what we should call our "pile of books," and without thinking, I said, Imagination Korner. Her face lit up. Since then, it became a place where we could create, play, and see our everyday joy written into stories.But Imagination Korner is more than just stories. It's family, memory, and healing woven together. After we lost our baby boy, Ivory, in October 2022, I started writing him into the tales, letting him join his siblings in the adventures they dreamed up.Writing became my way of keeping him close, while showing my kids that creativity has no rules, no boundaries, and no limits. When readers step into Imagination Korner, I want them to feel that same sense of home - to see the heart of a mother, a family, and a space that embraces both joy and grief with love.Looking ahead, Imagination Korner is a dream that keeps growing. Like my old high school art teacher once told me, creativity isn't bound to one form - it's music, words, movement, and more. Imagination Korner is where all of that lives. It's where we can simply be ourselves.
