Funds to publish book for children
Donation protected
Hi my name is Seniha Slowinski
And I am really excited about my project please read on to find out why!
My Rocky books are aimed at children, starting from pre-school age upwards and are inspired by my dog (the ‘real’ Rocky) with all the cute and funny things that he does and the children that I taught at Arnott pre-school in Thamesmead.
Teaching children dance at pre school age is very different to teaching older children or adults as they have a shorter attention span and get distracted easily! For this reason I would break up the session with various tasks including story time!
Whilst reading I was not captivating the attention of the little ones and the story was not engaging enough to keep the children interested!
Which is when I came up with the idea to get the children involved!
The books are about discovering and learning by following the character Rocky on his journey, which involves learning about significant things in life such as colours, learning to count and identifying things that their parents, carers or guardians may do on an everyday basis, such as shopping, going to the park, to the gym etc.
Some of the books involve interactive aspects and questioning that enables the children to participate and respond whilst others may have a learning message and factual information.
The books are written using rhymes which are repetitive and make it fun for the child/children to gain a more enjoyable experience.
Some of the stories are based on true events that Rocky has experienced such as visiting the sights of London, boxing, going to the park and training.
After positive feedback from qualified teachers, parents, friends, family and associates that have read my books, I have decided to brave the route of self-publishing!
The positives to self-publishing are that you get to make all of your own choices (such as important details like the title of the book, illustrations, wording etc)
However, self-publishing means that I will have to pay for the marketing and publishing and editing costs (which are not cheap!) as well as other costs such as trade marking, illustrations, website etc. For this reason I have decided to give crowd funding a go!
So, I am asking for people who have a genuine interest in seeing my project succeed and come to life and support me by giving a monetary contribution to help make it happen!
I would be extremely super super grateful for any amount you want to give!
I really do believe this is a great new and fun way to educate the young minds of today!
In return I would like to offer some rewards back for donationas over a certain amount!
£20 + A signed photo of Rocky
£100 + A credit in the book (your name)
£150 + A signed first edition (and I will keep you updated on the progress of the book)
£200 + A signed first edition and a credit in the book (and I will keep you updated on the progress of the book)

A few paragraphs from my book!!!
''In the bedroom now we shall go
Can you see the sock by my Daddy's big toe?
'If you can see' you must tell me
What colour sock you can see?
I will give you a clue; it rhymes with bed
Could it be the colour............Red?''
