Baby Touch: Tummy Time

  • Ten minutes of tummy time for a baby has shown to be developmentally beneficial for babies as it helps strengthen their necks, heads and backs and much more.
  • The author is actually Ladybird while the illustrator is Fiona Land.
  • The Baby Touch series has expanded and is continuing to do so, helping stimulate the minds of young children everywhere. 

CocoCaramel

 

Coco Caramel

  • When she was a kid Cathy Cassidy used to make comics and sell them to her friends. Once her friends were done with them she used to take them back and resell them because they didn’t have photocopiers then!

  • Cathy Cassidy has been nominated for the Queen of Teen Award three times, even winning it once in 2010.
