From entry level contestant to being chosen as Western Cape Brand Ambassador of Miss Eagle South-Africa 2018 and also now a semi-finalist in this huge new Beauty-with-Purpose and Brains Pageant. She is carrying the title of Warrior Princess. During the semi-finalist stage, Danika Simei has been challenged, amongst other things, to write a children’s book. She decided to find her inspiratio­n for this challenge within nature, one of the many things she has a deep love for; the incredible beauty of the Western Cape and it’s lush surroundin­gs. Simei has always had an artistic flair since a very young age and she was thus also inspired by her enthusiasm and joy of creating with both paint and pencil, to tap into this side of her artistic personalit­y to make this part of the challenge become a reality. At first, she wanted to design just a colouring book for children, but after spending some time pondering about the idea she decided to make it an interactiv­e book. So whilst the child is colouring in the picture that appears on a page in the book, the child can also read a story that motivates and inspires them. We won’t reveal too much about the book as yet, but we can give a small snippet of informatio­n and say that the story-line entails an eaglet that discovers her talents and embarks on a race. It is most definitely something for children to look forward to. A story that talks about self-discovery, growth, your strengths and overcoming your weaknesses. Even those adults who enjoy nurturing their own inner child will enjoy reading along with their children and might find truth and inspiratio­n from the book as well.
