By Entric Shijo John Hello, dear readers! I am Entric Shijo John, a 9-year-old author who loves writing more than chocolate cake! This book is very special to me. It holds my thoughts, my poems, my fun moments, and even a little bit of my dreams. Some ideas came from my school, some from my home, and many from my heart. My parents are my biggest support— My father gives me freedom to dream, And my mother gives me titles to start writing! My school and teachers are always happy to see me write, And that makes me even more excited to create. Thank you for reading my book. I hope you smile, think, and feel something new on every page. Let’s turn the page and begin the journey together! > “Every word is a step into my imagination.” — Entric Shijo
