Being magical means that you shine from the inside. It means that you have the ability to make everything a little bit more special just by being yourself. Being magical means believing that something amazing is waiting just beyond the rainbow. You don’t have to look too hard for magic. Just believe in yourself and the magic will find you!

I made up three characters that I loved to use in my lessons: Mr. Ribooa (Mr. Square), Mr. Igool (Mr. Circle), and Mrs. Mshoolash (Mrs. Triangle). I had so much fun with Zenki Circle these three. They had very different personalities and were always getting into all sorts of mischief. After I’d made Square Zenki, I knew it was only a matter of time before Circle Zenki and Triangle Zenki would turn up on my doorstep.
