About the Author

Elena Paige is a children's fiction author and health educator based in Melbourne Australia. Having studied bachelor degrees in Law and Psychology Elena has worked in Government within the field of community safety, crime prevention and building strong social connections. She has worked for the past 15 years in the health and counselling field in private practise. She continues to be a life long student of martial arts and the Chinese healing arts which influence her work.

Elena Paige originally developed the character of Lolli to help her own children overcome their own issues around self esteem, sleeping issues, and friendships. Her work is influenced through her healing work and knowledge of basic human needs to love, acknowledgment and personal connection.

Lolli is also featured in another series - MEDITATIONS ADVENTURES FOR KIDS. The meditations were developed to be fun, rather than what one may traditionally think of as meditation. Kids love the whimsical nature of following where Lolli takes them and they learn things coincidentally along the way.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewed By Rosie Malezer for Readers' Favorite

I Love Being Different is the first book in the Lolli's Happy Heart Rhymes series, written in rhyme by Elena Paige and illustrated by Josef Hill. Each of the book's poems comprises eight lines, presented by Lolli and Licorice from the Land of Color. The fun-filled poems outline different things children enjoy doing and why. Examples of things which children enjoy are: having energy, crying, magic, teddy, being creative, sharing, thunder, drawing, feeling happy, drawing and more. With full-color illustrations accompanying each poem, the words are brought to life so beautifully, encouraging children to seek out the positive aspect of all things amidst the negatives in life with each turn of the page.

Whilst some of the poem titles in the book may appear to project negativity in some way, when you actually read through the poem, you will see that it turns most of the negatives into positives, which is something all children can hopefully achieve in their lives. I believe that all children should be able to enjoy books at a very young age, as it builds on their language skills and helps with their confidence, character and emotional development. I enjoyed all of the positive poems and delightful illustrations throughout the book, and recommend that this book, designed for children aged between 4-8 years, be stocked in home, school, kindergarten and hospital libraries.
