"School/s Pilot Work Feedback (Credited with all Mandatory Consents): ""I am truly in awe of Eiry Rees Thomas. These books are classics and foster attention and a love for the written word. They open up discussions on many topics and encourage exploration and off screen play."" ""On first encountering the Flitlit concept, I was overwhelmed. How do you begin to describe this incredible world? It is unlike anything I have experienced before. Each word on the page is placed to make the whole experience so expansive and rich in detail."" ""The setting is a magical place that can be visited any time, anywhere and which stays within your imagination forever."" ""It is the lyricism of the prose that knocks you off your feet and lulls you in like a siren's song. The employment of rhythm and rhyme creates a magical syncopation that builds anticipation as the stories are read aloud."" ""The Guide for Educators is truly outstanding and will be an asset in helping children to grab on to that spark of imagination."" ""We are deeply embroiled in 'Flitlit Fever' in the classroom. In fact, it has taken over our lives somewhat! "" ""We have read the stories, analysed the language, looked for poetic devices, written reviews, composed Flitlit anthems, designed book covers, written raps, de-constructed characters, examined story lines... and even tried creating new characters and plots!""

Author Information

Eiry Rees Thomas grew up in Wales/U.K. among a creative family embracing a poet, calligrapher/sculptor, illustrators and a cartoonist. The coal-mining community where she spent her formative years was mostly Welsh-speaking, with the English language being introduced to the school curriculum at the age seven level. The musicality of the Welsh language is apparent in the author's unique lyrical voice, described in Welsh as 'telynegol' or harp-like, true to her Celtic roots. Her love of writing bilingually from an early age was given expression following a serious accident. This ended her career as a public health practitioner, peripatetic teacher and medical translator. Her experiences in the field of child development and the privilege of having worked with children and families with additional needs contribute to her work as an author and curriculum content creator.
