Genius Asks

Genius represents the mind. As the central character and the impetus for each book, Genius is the forefront of messaging in this creative collection. He is an engaging character who promotes happiness, and he loves the magic of positive thinking. 

 

The brainchild for Genius came about when Wendy Marquenie realised that having arms wide open attracts positive energy and happy thoughts. His colours represent the colours of the rainbow inside each of us. Throughout the series, children will meet Genius's friends, who each match a colour of the rainbow. 

 

In the first book, Genius Asks "Who Am I?", children will learn to smile because Genius is fun to be around. He will teach children to realise that we are all perfect, inside and out.

 

Wendy had a vision whereby she wanted children to see the magic and resilience inside each of them. And so Genius was born to pave the way. Through the exploration of each book, children are challenged to find each quality within themselves and encouraged to embrace their blossoming positive mindset; this equips them with the emotional armour necessary to face daily life in a happy and healthy way. With Wendy's linked curriculum map, these empowering lessons can also be brought firmly into classrooms around the world to allow children the freedom to develop their critical thinking skills in a fun and creative way. This is definitely a collection that should adorn every classroom shelf.
