Tim-Tim and the Sickly Monster (Paperback)

Little Tim-Tim wakes up one morning with the Sickly Monster by his side. The Sickly Monster seems to want to do everything that Tim-Tim does and follows Tim-Tim around everywhere the little boy goes. The Sickly Monster is rather unwell. And when he follows Tim-Tim around, it makes the little boy unwell as well. The Sickly Monster even follows Tim-Tim to school climbing in his backpack. Mr Mole, Mrs Duck, Mr Baboon and all the other teachers at school try to help Tim-Tim do his lessons by offering to watch or hold the Sickly Monster. And at the end of the day, when Tim-Tim is about to go home, Mrs Hippo, the school nurse, comes up with a brilliant solution to help Tim-Tim go home monster-free.Julie G Fox (author): "I wrote the book on hearing the story of a young boy from Ukraine who had Leukaemia. His strategy for coping with his treatment was to characterise his illness as a sickly monster which he needed to fight off. Thankfully the young boy is in remission and his mother was so pleased with the book that she asked me to share it with as many Children’s Hospitals and wards as I am able to. I am very pleased to say that hundreds of copies of the book were donated to children's wards throughout the UK and the book is being currently translated into German, French and Spanish languages." Sue Ellis (Lead Nurse for Paediatrics at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust): "The book is excellently written and illustrated. We have placed copies in the consulting rooms so that the clinicians can give them to relevant families. We have no doubt that this will bring a smile to their faces and help them through difficult times.”

Julie G. Fox is an author and the founder of Clever Fox Press. Julie's first book 'Goodbye, Emma' told the story of a boy. This book (which is still Julie's bestseller!) Was based on a true story as Julie and her brothers were refugees themselves. The proceeds from the sale of 'Goodbye, Emma' as well as all other books Julie has been donated to charities. The first hundred copies of the 'Goodbye, Emma' book were shipped to refugee camps in Greece, Canada and Germany. After 'Goodbye, Emma' came out Julie felt that she had too many stories locked up in her head, and these stories had to somehow reach more children. She decided to connect with artists, illustrators and writers in the countries, troubled by wars and economic problems, to encourage those talented and creative individuals who lacked a platform for their difficult homelands. Clever Fox Press which was founded by Julie in the early 2016 has been written and produced 20 more books with more projects on the way. We now have a terrific team of freelance writers from Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Spain, Italy, Syria, Greece, South Korea, United States, Latvia and India. Our motto is to write up for children. Thus, we do not break down our books. Our books are written for children of all ages including parents and grandparents. We have also noticed a drastic decline in poetry for children. An odd rhyme is there but real poetry has disappeared from the book shelves altogether. So our other goal is to re-introduce poetry in the world of rhyme and non-rhyme which has the business of children's books has become. We at Clever Fox Press are also great fans of folklore and fairytales. These holdings of the world of wisdom passed down from one to the next generation and should never be forgotten. So once upon a time there was ... #thatladywithfoxears who loves to tell stories and her terrific team of artists and writers from all over the world!
