A couple of years ago, stuck in the middle of school holidays with my then-five year old Bombshell, we decided that we would write a book together.
Specifically, I would write it, and she would do the illustrations. I let her choose the most important aspects of the book, such as the name of the main character (Fairy Sparkle Rose), the colour of her dresses, and the 'twist' at the end of the story. It is a story about being yourself and not following the pack.
I enjoyed it so much, I wrote another book 'How the Rainbow Got its Colours' which is a story about sharing.
Then earlier this year, obviously with the 'D' word flapping around the back of my head, I wrote a story called 'My Body My Shape' (yeah, the title is a work in progress) which is a story about loving different shapes and sizes.
Each story is aimed at 4-6 year olds. They are very simple stories, with painted illustrations by my daughters. I have simply printed them myself on Snapfish, so the production is basic.
But I have a few spare copies, and I will post them to you if you wouldn't mind reading them to your kids, and then emailing me a few lines telling me what you think. Be honest, there's no point telling me they're awesome if you actually think they're crap. If you happen to own a publishing company and you love them, then yes, I am willing to sign a contract.
It's first in, first served, so please email me your name and postal address to frommumtome@hotmail.com (email only please, don't put your personal details on Facebook)*.
Update: thanks to everyone who responded, but I have had more offers to review the books than expected,and unfortunately, there are no more copies available.
I can send packs of two books to the US or Europe (2 on offer) and packs of three books within Australia (up to five on offer). (Sorry about the discrepancy, but it costs a lot to post things across the world).
* I promise not to stalk, harass or sell your personal details to anyone. Just in case you were wondering...

Hi Shannon, it's Mandy (Ellie's Mum) from kindy room 10. I'd be happy to review your books but also not offended if you would rather they go to a wider audience. I can grab them from you at kindy one day if you would like.
