PlanetSpark’s Youngest Author: Fifth Grader Ryne Shiju Publishes His First Poetry Book

 

📖 A Fifth Grader with a Pen—and a Voice

When most fifth graders are busy juggling homework, cartoons, and cricket practice, Ryne Shiju was quietly crafting something extraordinary: poetry.

Not just rhymes scribbled in a notebook.
Not just school assignments.
But real, heartfelt poems that reflect how a young mind sees the world.

And now?
Ryne is a published author.

His book, The World Through My Poems, is out. In print. In his hands. And in the hearts of everyone who reads it.

🌟 The Moment That Changed Everything

It started with a spark.

Ryne joined PlanetSpark not just to improve his writing, but to explore it. His mentor noticed early on that he had a unique way of expressing emotions—through rhythm, imagery, and honesty.

One day, after reading one of his poems aloud in class, his mentor said:

“This isn’t just good. This is publishable.”

That sentence lit a fire. Ryne began writing more. Editing. Rewriting.
He wasn’t just writing poems—he was building a book.

🧑‍🏫 What His Mentor Says

Ryne’s mentor, Anjali ma’am, shared:

“Ryne has a rare gift. He writes with simplicity, but his words carry depth. His poems talk about nature, kindness, dreams—and they do it in a way that feels real. He’s not trying to sound grown-up. He’s just being honest. And that’s what makes his writing powerful.”

She added:

“Watching Ryne grow from a curious student to a confident author has been one of the highlights of my teaching journey.”

🧠 What Makes Ryne’s Writing Special?

Here’s what readers love about The World Through My Poems:

  • It’s written by a child, but it speaks to everyone.
  • It’s full of wonder, questions, and hope.
  • It doesn’t try to be perfect—it tries to be true.

One poem talks about the sky and how it changes moods.
Another explores friendship and how it feels when someone doesn’t say goodbye.
There’s even a poem about silence—and how sometimes, it says more than words.

Ryne’s writing reminds us that children don’t just learn from the world—they observe it deeply.

📚 The Journey to Becoming a Published Author

Publishing a book isn’t easy—even for adults.
But Ryne did it with the support of his family, his mentor, and PlanetSpark’s creative writing program.

Here’s how it happened:

  1. Idea Collection
    Ryne started gathering his poems—some written during class, some at home, some inspired by random thoughts.

  2. Editing and Feedback
    His mentor helped him refine the structure, tone, and flow. Not by changing his voice—but by helping him sharpen it.

  3. Design and Layout
    PlanetSpark guided the process of turning his manuscript into a real book—with a cover, title, and author bio.

  4. Publishing
    And finally, the book was printed. A physical copy. A dream come true.

🎉 The Launch Moment

When Ryne held his book for the first time, he smiled quietly.
No big speech. No dramatic reaction. Just a quiet moment of pride.

His parents were emotional. His mentor was proud.
And Ryne? He was already thinking about his next poem.

PlanetSpark shared his achievement with the world, saying:

“Not just a student—an author! Ryne Shiju’s creativity now lives in print. We’re so proud of your storytelling spark!”

💬 What Ryne Says

We asked Ryne, “How does it feel to be a published author?”

He said:

“It feels nice. I didn’t think my poems would become a book. I just wrote what I felt. Now I want to write more.”

He also added:

“I want other kids to know that writing is fun. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be honest.”

🏫 Why This Matters

Ryne’s story isn’t just about publishing a book.
It’s about what happens when children are given space to express.

Schools teach grammar.
Tuition teaches rules.
But PlanetSpark teaches voice.

And Ryne found his.
