Have Auntie Lynn Visit
Scroll down for all the info…
“Auntie Lynn”, the creator and author of the philanthropic children’s entertainment phenomenon “The Magical Scarecrows”, is offering to run events at Gold Coast schools FREE (and at schools beyond the Gold Coast for basic travel expenses only).
Included in the appearance is a five minute clip from “The Stars Read the Scarecrows”, video recorded by the iconic and legendary star of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, Tippi Hedren, with two tigers romping playfully in the background.
After the five minute screening Auntie Lynn will complete the reading of Chapter One and then run a competition where everyone will be invited to draw a scarecrow. The three best entries will win a free copy of “The Magical Scarecrows – Book One” signed by Auntie Lynn.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO PUT ON YOUR OWN MAGICAL SCARECROW STAGE MUSICAL?
All you have to do is ask! Auntie Lynn can provide you with an adaptation from these magical stories for you to put on your very own musical at school to raise funds for your school and/or favourite charity!
HAVE YOUR OWN STORY PUBLISHED
Learn about The Magical Scarecrows Club and Competition where you have the chance to have your very own Magical Scarecrow chapter published, and perhaps read by a famous celebrity on Auntie Lynn’s website. You can find out more by joining the Club on this site.
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT THE LIFE OF AN AUTHOR IS LIKE?
Ask Auntie Lynn all the questions you like. As well as “The Magical Scarecrows” Auntie Lynn has written a string of successful thrillers and biographies, including the life stories of Saddam Hussein’s former personal pilot and Australia’s original wild man and conservationist, Alby Mangels.
CROSSING CULTURAL BOUNDARIES
As an optional extra Auntie Lynn can, by special arrangement, also organize for you to meet Captain Ali Al-Wahabi (Saddam Hussein’s former pilot) with his fellow envoys from the “Passion for Peace” team: an ultra orthodox Israeli Rabbi and a spokesperson for the Christian aid association, World Vision. The Passion for Peace team is happy to visit schools to demonstrate how people traditionally seen as enemies can in fact be firm friends.
STARS READING THE SCARECROWS
“The Magical Scarecrows” was originally conceived by Auntie Lynn merely to pass on her love of the wildlife to the next generation, but it has become a symbol to promote the importance of literacy, a vehicle to cross all cultural and socio-economic boundaries, and importantly a catalyst to teach children the fundamental lesson these magical beings learn… you should only ever be limited by your imagination and your imagination should be boundless. In crossing cultural and socio-economic boundaries The Passion for Peace team is pleased to have joined forces with the project along with many other famous friends of Auntie Lynn’s across the world. Other super stars can be found at the store page.

The Magical Scarecrows opens the hidden gate to a charming world where everything comes to life, even the fire; a world where the brave hearts and clever minds of two Scarecrows and their animal friends face real dangers, real fears, and find real ways to deal with them. Embodying every child's feelings of both isolation and specialness, of being slightly out-of-place and misunderstood in the grown-up world, The Magical Scarecrows shows children how to look at situations with a different perspective, how to combine their talents with other people's, and how to face challenges with hope, determination, and imagination. The child in all of us will recognize the loneliness of each Scarecrow, thinking they're the only one of their kind. The spiritual in each of us will recognize the bond of friendship among the Scarecrows and animals that spans the globe with hope.

I only wish that Auntie Lynn had been around when I was a kid. I would have grown up with a real respect for old clothes and straw. Little did I know I'd throw away what could have been so many magical friends! I'm sure children, (of all ages) will enjoy these lovely tales; and what a wonderful thing for Auntie Lynn to do; anyone who can put a book, at no cost, into the hands of a sick child is someone pretty special. Enjoy. |
