Some people, like myself, thrive on change. For others, it’s not so easy.
Regardless of personality type, change is something we all face. It’s is part of human destiny, individually and collectively. Even Nature and the Universe are in a constant state of change. The planets are always moving, and the seasons on Mother Earth are always changing.
Change, it seems, is inescapable. I wrote my children’s book Blue Jeans with the theme of change in mind.
Here’s how it was reviewed in The Mother magazine:
Blue Jeans, written by Veronika Sophia Robinson, and illustrated by Susan Merrick

Blue Jeans is a heart warming story that at its heart tugs at every mother’s heart. It’s the story of how children grow too quickly as is evidenced by the rate they grow out of their clothing.
Written from the perspective of a pair of blue jeans, this book covers quite a number of themes: moving, making new friends, accepting changes, letting go of someone we love, and the value of recycling and upcycling. While probably not meant to be the central themes of this book, they do come up and would make great talking points with younger children.
Blue Jeans belonged to a city family, but when he was outgrown, he moved to the country as hand-me-down jeans for a country cousin. On the farm at his new home, he quickly grows to love the differences between city and country and falls in love with the country way of life.
The book paints an idyllic picture of life, with TV-free evenings, children doing chores on the farm, gathering wood, collecting herbs and vegetables to store for the Winter and sell at the market.
When the mother in the story patches his knees and passes him on to a younger sibling, Blue Jeans is happy again to have a few more years of adventures with his country family.
Blue Jeans is perfect for those who enjoy a longer bed time story.
Available from my website, Starflower Press, good bookshops, and online retailers.
Have you read the latest issue of The Mother magazine? (TM64)
It features my article Yoni: Portal to Ecstatic Femininity.
“As little girls, many of us were told ‘don’t touch yourself down there’, or ‘dirty girl’ or ‘disgusting’…Here is the truth: our yoni is as beautiful as a blossoming orchid, and, when our diet and lifestyle are healthy, does not smell offensive, but more like Summer rain or wild-crafted honey.”
The clitoris has only one purpose: pleasure. Is that why our culture has made sexual pleasure for women such a taboo?
