As adults, we understand the importance of training, preparation, and perseverance when it comes achieving our

goals. But how do we pass these important life skills onto our children?

Tony Wilson has found a way to impart these messages in his children’s books, namely The Cow Tripped Over the

Moon. In this podcast episode, he shares his idea of taking a popular nursery rhyme and asking; “What happened

before the cow jumped over the moon?” This helped him develop a story that looks at the importance of working

hard and building up to whatever it is we want to achieve.

With a love of books and rhyming words, Tony shares his thoughts on the important role books play when it comes

to teaching children valuable concepts and literacy skills and offers his tips on how to keep up with shared story time

in a busy household.
