Book Review Tuesday: Fairy May

Fairy May dreams of one day becoming a tooth fairy but she struggles at school and always seems to get things wrong. With hard work and determination she prepares for her test. Will she realise her dream and become a tooth fairy? Overall Thoughts: The story is mostly about Fairy May and how she tires so hard to pass her fairy classes and test, but no matter what she does...she just can't get it right. However, I love how the story does cover the importance of taking care of your teeth. As the daughter of a retired dentist (my wonderful step-dad), I understand the importance of teaching children about this simple daily task. In Fairy May, children learn how important it is to take care of their teeth as Fairy May studies and practices these basic hygiene skills so she can pass her Tooth Fairy test. I highly recommend this book due to all the hidden messages for children about hard work, not giving up and taking care of your teeth. Written & Illustrated by Jo Linsdell ...

Interview Friday: Jo Linsdell author of "Out and About at the Zoo"

Jo Linsdell writes about Italy, pregnancy and parenting, marketing (She LOVES social media) and the writing industry. Linsdell enjoyed writing since she could hold a pen in her hand but officially started her writing career in 2006. Since then, Linsdell has worked for numerous clients around the world and won a few awards along the way too. She has also published several books including the popular "Italian for Tourists" phrase book.   VS: What do you do to help balance your writing life with your family life?   Jo: It's not easy but I try to make time for both everyday. I always have a to-do list written up for each day and make sure it includes both work and family based tasks. A trip to the park with my kids is right up there with writing a new chapter or carrying out marketing tasks. I think when you love doing something you make the time for it in your life regardless.   VS: How long have you been writing...
