An 18-page booklet created by Ellen Duthie and Daniela Martagón.

The free downloadable resources we offer at Wonder Ponder take a very long time to create and are fairly costly to produce.
It is our choice to make them available free of charge and we think it's great for them to be downloaded for free.
If, however, you would like to support our work and acknowledge the use and enjoyment you get out of our resources, you can make a voluntary contribution, that will help us to continue to create free resources and undertaking other projects such as our I, WONDER, SELF-INTERVIEWS UNDER LOCKDOWN project, where more than 100 people aged 5 to 18 took part and which has been read by hundreds of people.
Your contribution might reflect the price you think is fair for this particular booklet, or an amount for the booklets you have downloaded and enjoyed in the past and you suspect you will download and enjoy in the future.
You can make your contribution via paypal, here (please enter “I would like to make a contribution” in the note section so that we can track donations).
Another way of supporting our work is sharing it! So please, share! share! share! And enjoy!
