“This is the second one that I have reviewed and I enjoyed it. The illustrations make it fun to read and the story makes it not scary for younger kids. It
sends a good message about safety. I really like the summaries at the end. As an adult,I didn’t even know a couple of them.”

“They are so colourful and engaging! The story itself was exciting and well-written. I enjoyed reading the “Watcher’s Words of Wisdom” at the end of the book. It has excellent advice for both children and
adults. Overall, I think most young children would enjoy this book. I know mine did!”

Tanya’s decision to focus on her storytelling skills is rooted in her desire to empower people to make the best decisions. Tanya promotes knowledge is power and that like most things, resilience and adapting to unexpected situations can be learned. You can follow Tanya on her TikTok channel: Disaster Survival Coach or Disaster Survival Coach website.
Tanya’s idea for a fictional survival guide for young readers stems from living in Australia during a time of devastating natural disasters, from floods to bush fires, cyclones, and droughts. Young people today will experience three times as many natural disasters as their grandparents faced in their lifetime, so Tanya believes it’s imperative that they’re taught how to stay safe and survive.
Tanya’s awareness that a lot of information is too scientific or scary to connect with a younger audience prompted her to write engaging, entertaining books for children. With The Tufts: A Disaster Survival Series she aims to empower young readers with the knowledge and practical skills to survive disasters, and to encourage an appreciation of our environment.
