C.L. Edwin
C.L. Edwin is an author, qualified Australian teacher, an early childhood therapist, and mother of 3 children.
Growing up in Tasmania, Courtney Louise loved to hide away safe in a book. She dreamed of writing books and going on adventures to change the world.
Married in 2013, she moved interstate with her new husband on the adventure of a lifetime. It didn't take long for the realities of this adventure to send her to her knees in a desperate plea for rest. Reaching for help, she collected chickens, quail, guinea pigs, fish, and plants of all shapes and sizes. For years, she played with various techniques, gathered tools, and dusted her knees to pick herself back up, only to be hit down by the next wave life threw at her.
Finally, she decided she wasn't going to be a victim any longer. Armed with a book, a community of new friends, and a renewed dream, she wiped away her tears and entered the healthiest, happiest days in her memory.
Ecstatic that she has finally discovered the resilience for the journey, she picked up her pen and began to write. She was committed to passing on these skills to children, families, therapists, and educators who were longing for the same answers she had sought out. From this place, The Best Good Day of My Dreams was born.
The Best Good Day of My Dreams is a celebration of the power of choice and healthy mindsets. Two parallel stories demonstrate how the smallest of changes are within a child’s grasp to turn the worst day into the best. C.L. Edwin has created free child-friendly resources, linked to the Australian Curriculum, to foster healthy mindsets and resilience that will serve children well into adulthoood.
