Cheryl Ann Boot, CEO of CAB Inspirational Ltd (pictured at the Wolverhampton Literature Festival at Wolverhampton Art Gallery) is set to release her latest children’s book ‘Stay in, Miss out’. This beautifully illustrated rhyme book, aimed at primary school children aims to encourage children to spend more time in nature, as significant evidence demonstrates the contribution to positive mental health and wellbeing.
Cheryl is part of a project called ‘1 in 3’, led by Ian Henery delivering workshops in a safe and supportive environment for participants to explore and express an artistic response to gender-based violence.
The ‘1 in 3’ project, founded by Damayanthi Muthukumaranage, with project manager Diyodi Menon and funded by Arts Council England was a complete success, the raw emotion, deep truth and expression of feelings enabled participants to open up and share experiences in a safe space whilst exploring creativity. There will be a final exhibition of the project over several days in a spoken word and music festival to celebrate and empower the community.
Cheryl said “It has been an honour to be part of the 1 in 3 project, as my passion is community empowerment and promoting positive mental health and wellbeing and I am grateful to have the opportunity to release my latest book at the upcoming exhibition”.
