PreOrder for My Dad Thinks Snakes are Scary
THE BLURB! Set everywhere in Tasmania comes an all too common tale of fear and misunderstanding. Come along with us and meet some of Tassie's beautiful animals as Dad goes from being a big fraidy cat to the local snake catcher. Helping teach kids and grownups what to do and what not to do when they meet a snake. Delightfully illustrated with native Tasmanian reptiles by the amazing Sonia Strong.
In my work as a snake catcher and educator I see an enormous amount of anxiety, fear and misinformation about snakes that hampers people's ability to enjoy the beautiful environment around them, that lead to people making silly and sometimes dangerous decisions around snakes. Kids are naturally curious and many are determined to take them home in backpacks or stuff them in lunch boxes to impress their friends, scare their siblings or they just want to see what they feel like..yes, these are all things we have heard out of children's mouths! I started writing this book 6 years ago as a way to augment the other education I do in the community about snakes. With a book we have an opportunity sitting on a shelf or beside the bed 24/7 to educate kids about snakes in an entertaining way. I want that book to be pulled out and read over and over again. I want more than a rushed few minutes with them at the school fair. This book will give kids- and the grown ups reading it- opportunity to bust all the fear, all the lies and all the myths surrounding these stunningly beautiful and amazingly adapted animals.
