Titch and Tup’s reluctance to be in any children’s stories is delivered loud and clear. They are independent, confrontational and rebellious. And Tup is particularly strong-willed. However, when they need help from the readers in dealing with the Triple Troubles, they finally swallow their pride and ask.
Saying thank you is a bit of a challenge for the pair, but they get there in the end!
An entertaining and engaging story for children, teaching them that saying thank you is important!
About David Gooch
Art has consistently been an important part of David’s life. Throughout various periods, he has endeavoured to write children’s stories with the aspiration that a publisher might consider them. "The Reluctant Tales of Titch and Tup in The Triple Troubles" was conceived in the early 1990s, complete with preliminary illustrations and text. However, due to family responsibilities and work commitments, they were buried away in the ‘to-do in the future’ ever-growing list.
Recently, with more available time, he decided to work on turning those early ideas into a published children’s book. However, adapting to the modern internet requirements of publishers, which do not accept hard copies, proved to be a considerable challenge.
Fortunately, Blossom Spring Publishing liked the story enough, despite his basic IT presentation. And with their encouragement and significant assistance, he has now achieved his goal of publishing a children's book.
