BUSY MISS HOOVER

The soft warm breeze whispers to Busy Miss Hoover
that she would like all things
about Over The Moon……..


It was on the other side of the world, though.

Would her friends come with her?

She could only ask.

And wait for the answer.


Busy Miss Hoover and her friends led simple lives, but they were full of exciting adventures.

One Sunday, Busy Miss Hoover's family came for Sunday lunch. They described their recent holiday as a bit of paradise. The place was called Over The Moon.
And it got Busy Miss Hoover thinking!


This is an illustrated, retro-style children's short story.

This is a delightful story. It is the first in a series of children's short stories.

Tales From Over The Moon.


A book with a charming sense of humor, and with a message of daydreaming happiness.


An anytime read, for children aged 3-8 years.
It is a happy book, and who knows, may become a favorite read!


Interview with the Author

Q...

What gave you the inspiration to write Busy Miss Hoover?

A...

The inspiration came initially from my everyday chores.

I noticed, just how busy I was, every day doing the same repeated chores!

We had a small house and a very large dog, so I would go to the cupboard and get the hoover out and mop the floor, every day.


The other characters came from the various, very funny menagerie of pets that my family has known over the years.


The idea for "a rather lovely thinking hat" came from my elder son.
Ben would always put his school blazer on to do his homework, so in the same vein, I gave Busy Miss Hoover a thinking hat to wear. She was able to better daydream!


A sort of busy wizard's magic wand, if you see the connection!

Something that turns on the magic!


Q...

Is there a message in the book?

A....

I like to think that there is a message in the book. That it is actually for most of us, young and old.

The value of time taken for yourself is not only to recharge but to let your mind wander into deeper thinking, feeling, and just ruminating to reconnect with yourself at a deeper level. This kind of activity in our busy world will always bring huge rewards.

In Busy Miss Hoover's case, it is her daydreaming that connects her with her inner self,
and she makes her decisions from that place.


I think allowing yourself to daydream even as a youngster, is a great asset throughout life.
