ABERDEEN TALKS - Round Table - My journey as a baby book author

Join Gillian Sneddon (author GHSneddon) at Michies Union Street for an informal 'round table' discussion about her journey to becoming a published baby book author.

Gillian champions self-love for children aged 0–5 through her innovative book My Little Ray of Sunshine’s Favourite Toys — an early years self-love manual inspired by Louise L. Hay’s affirmations, complete with a love-heart mirror at the back.

Her work is grounded in the science of early brain development, recognising how messages received in the first five years shape lifelong self-belief. At a time when confidence and emotional wellbeing matter more than ever, Gillian offers a gentle, evidence-based approach to nurturing self-worth from the very start.

More than a story, her book is a practical tool for parents, caregivers, educators, nurseries, hospitals and organisations supporting children — helping build attachment, emotional regulation and positive self-talk early on.

Gillian will also share her journey to becoming a self-published children’s author and what she learned along the way.

Tickets are limited, so booking is essential. Tickets are free through Eventbrite or by calling Michies Gift department to book on 01224 585312.
