Produktinformationen zu „Diego and the Goofy Witches of Beigua (ePub)“
Diego and the Goofy Witches of Beigua is the author's response to two major topics: diversity and bullying. In her book, she weaves into the story these two themes. We are truly stronger by learning to respect and celebrate our diversity and addressing the topic of bullying and its resulting negative impact upon ones self-confidence. Bullying does not discriminate against age, race, gender, nor disability. It exists, unfortunately, everywhere and can do harm at any age.
Donna Marie uses humor in finding solutions to these highly sensitive issues in todays landscape. The story is about the goofy, fun-loving witches of Beigua in Italy, who are faced with the cruel bullying of the banshees and have decided to leave their beloved homeland until Santa comes up with an ideahis good friend, a pelican named Diego from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, who likes to fly upside down. And oh! He likes to wear a sequined sombrero and catlike-framed purple sunglasses. He comes to the rescue, well, sort of! Diego must deliver six letters from Santa to six different continents to six witches of different cultures to help the goofy witches of Beigua solve their problem of being bullied. The goofy witches learn that they are stronger with their new witch friends by being culturally different than all being from the same place.
Sometimes you get great ideas when you share your different ways of solving a problem and learn to work as a team to stop being bullied. The author welcomes all those who read this book to share their thoughts and ideas and welcomes everyone to the land of the goofy witches of Beigua!

Autoren-Porträt von Donna Marie Ferro
Donna Marie Ferro is the granddaughter of immigrants from the Ligurian Region of Northern Italy. She honors and pays tribute to them in her writings as they are her inspiration. Her first book, Italy The Embracing Circle, Il Circolo, My Past, My Future, is non fiction and it includes many zany, fun filled adventures by the author with her mother, daughter, and cousin spending summer vacations throughout "The Boot" and Sicily. Her book begins in 1971, she kept journals and would share them with her friends. Until one day her mother said to her, "Donna Marie, that is a book, promise me you will write it and share it with others." And so she did!, The book intertwines the history of Italy and stories about her beloved Italian family as well as the many silly antics that go along with traveling in Italy. Her second book is the first part of a trilogy, the title of this books is called, The Reindeer Dog. The author passionately believes in the theme of this books that it does not matter where you come from nor the configuration of your family, all that matters is that your heart is surrounded by those you love. She offers this book as her gift to children and for the "Big Kids," adults. The next part of the trilogy is titled, Diego and The Goofy Witches of Beigua. Beigua is a forested area way up high in the hills of Liguria, where her grand parents grew up. Her Nonna, Grandmother, Maria would tell her stories about the goofy witches who lived there. None of them were mean but definitely goofy! The theme of this book is quite timely. It is about diversity and bullying. The author firmly believes, " When we come from different cultures and backgrounds we are stronger as we have different perspectives on how to solve a problem as we do not all view things the same way." The other theme of this book has to do with bullying and how to respond to it whether it is you or someone that you know that is being bullied. The last book in the trilogy is called, Santa and His Merry
