Someones been cleaning the kids room and it wasnt Mom and Dad.
Earlier this September, the Printers Row Lit Fest was once again the site of many exhibits of new publications as well as several authors holding their book signing session. This included even a recently published childrens book author named Chris Cochrane. With the support of ReadersMagnet, a self-publishing and book marketing firm, Cochrane was able to hold the session just in time for the event.
Cochrane is the creative mind behind The Dinglehopper Blueberry Belly-Button Snooter, a story that showcases both his rich imagination and his talent for making up the funniest made-up words.
Prior to publishing, Cochrane had used this talent to entertain his own children with the funniest stories. One day, however, his wife had begun urging him to go beyond just that and believed that his way with wordplay could be a fun read for more kids.
And thus, the Dinglehopper was born.
Cochranes book follows a lighthearted tradition in childrens stories where creatures with peculiar sounding names can be said to be found in hidden places and are responsible for strange things. In the case of the titular Dinglehopper, the story follows two little girls who embark on a search as they notice something has been cleaning their room, no matter how often they forget or how messy things got.
After the Printers Row Lit Fest 2023, Cochrane is still eager to exhibit his book at a number of other book fairs in the future. His imagination still has plenty to share as it draws much inspiration from his love sci-fi, fantasy, sports as well as his own desire to keep telling funny stories to kids.
Chris Cochranes The Dinglehopper Blueberry Belly-Button Snooter is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and at www.ccochranebooks.com.
