About the Author
T.J. Scripps is an author and storyteller passionate about inspiring the next generation through magic, adventure, and meaningful life lessons. With a background in Journalism and Film Production from the University of Cape Town and further training at the New York Film Academy, T.J. has spent the past decade developing content through her production company, Skybok, bringing stories of people, events, and businesses to life.
Her life experience has seen her working with children worldwide, first through Rotary International and later through her own non-profit, “Imbeko” (meaning “Respect”), based in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa. She is committed to making a difference for children in need throughout the world. This hands-on work with children has given her an understanding of how they think, process emotions, and cope with trauma, which she channels into her writing to create stories that resonate deeply with young readers. She strives to create hope in the lives of young readers – many of whom are living with real challenges.
Her first book, Glow in the Dark: A Streak of Light, blends fantasy with inspiration, introducing young readers to the idea that the universe sends uplifting signs to guide and encourage. These signs are all found in nature and can be spotted on a daily basis. T.J. aims to encourage children to embrace their uniqueness, nurture their inner glow, and find strength by identifying these positive clues in their everyday lives.
As a proud UCT graduate and South African at heart, T.J. promotes the spirit of promise and strength to those younger people who are facing worry and struggles. She undertakes to give light so they can believe in their own ability. Every young reader will enjoy interpreting natural symbols as they go about their life. The overall message of this book is to be excited about life and its beauty.
