Hello! It's Hello World Day

Have you ever heard of ‘Hello World Day’?

I must admit I was completely oblivious of it until today and then someone I’d never met before said Hello to me and then explained why.

Apparently, every 21st of November (Hello World Day), the idea is to say ‘Hello’ to at least ten people, as a simple message to everyone that communication amongst ourselves is a pretty cool idea.

So to everyone who is reading this, ‘Hello’ and have a very happy ‘Hello World Day’.

Georgia's Big Idea

Say hello to Georgia the cow, the star and eponymous heroine of  'Georgia's Big Idea'.

Now Georgia is not you normal everyday cow, admittedly she's happy and contented munching grass and living by the sea but when she gets an idea into her head, she's a cow on a mission.
And this time Georgia's big idea is to fly!!!

Well as you can imagine getting a cow to be airborne is pretty difficult, even on a good day, so Georgia's journey of discovery is fraut with trials and tribulations, however, along the way she learns that perserverance is a quality that quite often helps you achieve your dreams.

Wonderfully narrated and already a winner in the InteractBooks international 'Bring your Book to Life' contest, Georgia's Big Idea is an interactive children's picture book that's ideal for young readers everywhere. Featuring many of the United Kingdom's recommended Key Stage 1 'High Frequency' words it's a beautiful rhyming story that will be loved by children, teachers and parents the world over.

Georgia's Big Idea will be available to download in the very near future... As they say 'Watch this space for details!'   

It's Time For Carrots Video

It depends where you are in the world but carrot growing season is never very far away.
In fact whilst here in the U.K. things are looking a bit wet and windy, over in parts of California and Florida the carrot season is in full swing. Which goes to show just how internationally loved a good carrot is.
'It's Time For Carrots,' is the first interactive story in the Grandpa Joe and Rufus series and is now available in the iTunes App store. It's all about growing carrots at home - something that is surprisingly easy to do for kids from 2 to 102. And that, I'm happy to say, includes me.

Here's a quick video trailer of Grandpa Joe and Rufus in 'It's Time For Carrots'.

Have you seen Georgia on the Colouring Page

Say hello to Georgia the cow, she's the heroine in my latest story/interactive App 'Georgia's Big Idea'.
I 've got to admit it I'm pretty excited, as this is the first time Georgia has sneaked out into the public gaze. You see, sometime during this month ( hooves crossed) Georgia will be able to bound across your iPad in all of her glory (but more of that at a later date).
In the meantime, Georgia has made her debut on the free colouring page. If you remember I did promise to keep on adding new colouring page images, so print her off at your leisure and happy colouring in.
