By living her dreams and writing her children’s story, Courtney Thorpe is helping Variety Charity to show children how they can imagine themselves out of any negative situation and turn lead into gold. “One of the biggest messages of the book is to encourage children to use their imaginations. Not only as an escape, but because children’s imaginations are inspiring and shouldn’t be taken for granted.” Any child can imagine and any child can realise their dreams regardless of their reality. This is the greatest gift of all for a young child who may be struggling with everyday life. Whether it comes down to neuroscience, or the universe and fate, “It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” Paulo Coelho, Alchemist
