larrikinhouse.com Temper Tabitha We’ve all seen a bratty “Temper Tabitha” having a meltdown in public. But what happens when adults behave like children too? This cleverly written story by rhyme & meter expert Jackie Hosking highlights one of the great misconceptions about adults; Just because a person has grown up physically, doesn’t always guarantee that they’ve grown up emotionally and mentally too. Observation of adult behaviour often proves this to be true. Author Jackie Hosking is a rising star with seven picture books in production including titles with publishers like Walker Books & Scholastic. KEY SELLING POINTS: l Fun and engaging adventure story. l Encourages mindfulness, manners and sharing l Easy to follow rhyming text keeps little ones excited and curious l Teaches children the importance of sharing and being respectful l Bright and colourful illustrations by illustrator Leah Russack TEMPER TABITHA ADVANCE I N FO R M AT I O N JACKIE HOSKING (AUTHOR): If Jackie were braver she’d be a stand up comedian, instead she’s a sit down writer. She loves to write funny, particularly funny rhyme. Her poetry, stories in verse and picture books have been published all over the world.
