\"NoahThe idea:<\/h1>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Back in 2017 my son, Noah, started creating all of these lovely characters when he was playing.\u00a0 He was just three at the time and it was very magical.\u00a0 I started to keep a notebook of them as I was fascinated by his little imagination.\u00a0 The first was called the ‘Caraceracker’ and the second was called ‘Goggeye’.\u00a0 This time also coincided with my husband and I trying to get him to give up his much loved dummy.\u00a0 We would find them all over the house, behind doors, under the sofa, in his nappy drawer – anywhere he thought we wouldn’t find them! He wasn’t going to give it up easily!<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

The reason:<\/h1>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I had a thought about immortalising these incredible characters Noah was creating and providing a coping technique to help him say bye to his favourite dummy – write a book!\u00a0 Now not much rhymes with ‘Caraceracker’, so Goggeye was the chosen fella!\u00a0 Noah drew him and I took it from there.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

Bringing it to life:<\/h1>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
For the story to work and help Noah give up his dummy, he had to be in it.\u00a0 To find the right illustrator I sent a photo of him to a brilliant, local artist, Georgina Moir, and she captured his cheekiness and crazy hair to a T.\u00a0 She brought the characters to life in a\u00a0 truly special way and the relationship of working with her was a truly inspiring one.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

What age range is the book for?<\/h1>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I have used lovely rhyming language as I think it’s much more fun to read.\u00a0 I have also put in some more challenging words like ‘regal finery’ so the older children can enjoy asking what that means and explore that vocabulary.\u00a0 Noah and I think anyone between 0 – 100 would enjoy it, but to help guide you it’s 0 – 7 years old.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

Did it work?<\/h1>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Yes it did!\u00a0 The story helped him give up his dummy.\u00a0 Amazing! I hope it can help you too.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Thank you for reading down to this point!\u00a0 Noah and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we have enjoyed creating it. x<\/strong><\/div>\n
