Behind the Scenes: Co-Authoring with a Toddler

Behind the Scenes: Co-Authoring with a Toddler Welcome to the enchanting world of "Grandma, Grandma, Tell Me More!" In this behind-the-scenes look, we invite you to join us on our creative journey as we co-author our heartwarming children's books with the help of our adorable toddler grandson. Together, we bring to life the magical moments between a grandma and grandchild that fill the pages of our books. Working from home allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the world of imagination alongside our little co-author. We believe that every family member plays a vital role in shaping the new generation, and our stories reflect the love and warmth that children feel from their families, regardless of their unique structure. From sleepovers filled with laughter to the excitement of learning the ABCs, our books capture the essence of the special bond between generations. We strive to create a sense of belonging and connection through our stories, reminding children that they are loved and cherished. Our books are available on Amazon in the USA and the UK, ensuring that they can be enjoyed by a diverse audience. We are committed to inclusive storytelling, and our aim is to create a world where every child can see themselves represented in our books. The recognition we have received for our dedication to storytelling is truly humbling. Our books have been featured in newspapers in NY, and we are honored to have been selected to showcase our work at prestigious book festivals, including the 2024 London Book Fair and the 2024 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. But what is it like to co-author with a toddler? It's a joyous and challenging experience that brings us endless inspiration. Our little co-author's imagination knows no bounds, and his fresh perspective often leads us to unexpected and delightful storylines. We embrace the spontaneity and unpredictability that comes with working alongside a toddler, and it adds an extra layer of magic to our books. Of course, there are challenges too. Toddlers have short attention spans and boundless energy, which means our writing sessions are often filled with interruptions and the need for frequent breaks. But we've learned to embrace these interruptions as opportunities for creativity and play. Sometimes, the best ideas come from those spontaneous moments of laughter and exploration. Co-authoring with a toddler is a collaborative process that strengthens our bond as a family. It's a beautiful way to create memories and stories that will be treasured for generations to come. We hope that our books bring joy and warmth to your family, just as they have brought to ours. Join us on this enchanting journey as we peel back the curtain and share the magic, challenges, and inspiration that come with co-authoring with a toddler. Together, we are weaving tales of love, laughter, and generational connection that will touch the hearts of readers young and old. #BehindTheScenes #CoAuthoringWithAToddler #GrandmaGrandmaTellMeMore #HeartwarmingChildrensBooks #FamilyLove #InclusiveStorytelling #Imagination #LondonBookFair #LATimesFestivalOfBooks #LongIslandNY
