20: Dr. Chrissi Hart discusses her children’s book, Tea with the Queen

by nancycshank | Dec 14, 2021

Children’s book author and retired psychologist Chrissi Hart joins us on the Front Porch to discuss her book, Tea with the Queen. The book takes us on a fanciful journey to England with mouse Charlie and his grandparents. The journey includes a thrilling flight on the back of Percy the goose, an encounter with a pair of corgis, and finally a meeting with the mouse queen who lives under the floor boards of Buckingham Palace. This richly illustrated book is perfect for young children and their adults. Charlie learns problem-solving, resilience, and that others may be relied upon when unexpected things happen.

Tea with the Queen is dedicated to Charlie Carter-Bates who the main story character is named after. Charlie sadly lost his battle with a brain tumor in November 2010. His parents founded the Charlie Charges On charity in 2014 in memory of their son and his love of rhinos. For more information on the Charlie Charges On charity – Helping to Fund Brain Tumour Research, please go to the charity’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/charliechargeson.uk/.
