Tessa’s Books Of Elegance

Tessa’s Books Of Elegance is a series of story/activity books within which the reader follows the main character, Tessa, through a series of elegant activities; from cooking, dress and hat designing, sewing, to creating décor and even tutus.

In addition, this series encourages society to come together, be kind, thankful, to give, inspire, and support each other in our own unique goals
and dreams.

With these books, Jacqui intends to:

• Encourage families to spend quality time together by sharing fun activities; and
• Foster lines of open communication within families, to create the foundation for strong and lasting relationships.

By recognising the importance of having conversations with one another, Jacqui aims to create a compassionate and caring environment for
children, with the hope of reducing the impact of childhood loneliness and social isolation.
