Hello, I'm a local new author of rhyming children's bedtime books. I love reading books to my own kids during the bedtime routine and was inspired to write my own. (Julia Donaldson being my favourite kids author)


But I have a question and just wanted to please get a consensus of peoples views here as a lot of people on the EDF are parents of young ones themselves.


So my second book is in development, it's about a curious child who wonder's why he has to wear underpants but fruit don't...a bit whacky - I know!


So previous page text is:

"You may ask, is that fair...

That I have to wear underpants but not a pear?"


Page in Question:

"True says mom, that doesn?t sound right?

But a stranger seeing your bum may get a fright"


What I would like to know is if the attached image (currently a sketch) would be acceptable/appropriate in a child's bedtime book (aged for 2.5 -6 years old). Or would it be better to have the mom covering the child with a towel? I know this could open a can of worms, so please be gentle...


Hopefully it will make sense in the attached sketch...


Thanks very much

Ric

Here's the final copy rework :)


Also the Metro has published an article now about the campaign to raise funds for the NHS too. It would be great if people could get behind it. The NHS Charities Trust have an urgent Covid Appeal running and my book is trying to help them.

    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really?
