When Binny comes to look after Molly and Joe while their parents take a trip, the children discover a map of the Diamond Field in her suitcase. As it turns out, this is no ordinary map, but the gateway to adventures and self-knowledge.
Molly and Joe, along with their pet Charlie Cat enter the magical world of the Diamond Field and go on an enchanted trip with Binny and her friend the Lightkeeper.
Along the way they are introduced t some wise animal friends who help them discover the secrets and hidden wisdom of seven rainbow-coloured jewels which educate them on the importance of self-love, getting to know their uniqueness and the strength and wisdom they always have inside of them – the Diamond in their hearts.
The author says:
“The core philosophy of the book is that we live in two worlds in one life. The world of the Storm run by our sad and disempowered thoughts and beliefs - which in the book are represented by the Storm Bug characters - and the world of the Diamond Field where we are free to expand, grow and experience true happiness and authentic self-confidence and experience our true nature. the Diamond in our Heart.”

About the author:
The author says: “As a child I grew up on a rubber plantation in Malaysia. Aged seven, I was sent to boarding school in England, and I was often scared and lonely and so I escaped to my imagination to prevent homesickness from taking hold. My mother gave me a small treasure box from a side street vendor in Singapore with seven glass rainbow coloured jewels and my prize possession a glass diamond. She told me to polish the jewels every night and make a wish on my Diamond. I did this for years. My treasure box of jewels were my best friends. The imaginary world I visited was the inspiration for the Diamond Field in the book.
“One day in June 2021 I was sitting in the white gardens as I was staying on the Priest’s House in the grounds of the home of Vita Sackville West in Sissinghurst in Kent England when I found myself drawing a map of the Diamond Field map which is now in my book.”
