Messy Tessy is inspired by Aly, Camy & Ashley (Leah's children), written by Leah Orr and illustrated by her mother, Josephine Lepore. Tessy is a charming bundle of curls who gets into mischief while her aunt is babysitting. Orr has written a warm and fun loving adventure that sends a great message. While Tessy does make more than one mess while her babysitter is napping, in the end the end she has fun helping her aunt straighten it all up before mom comes home. Messy Tessy is an adorable book that little girls will love and that will bring a smile of remembrance to her parents.
While this book is adorable, what really makes it charming, is that all proceeds from the sale of this book are generously donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. ABC's Health Watch did a segment with the Orr Clan. You can watch it here and check out Leah's You Tube Chanel. Be sure to check out her other books, Kyle's First Crush and Kyle's First Playdate.

Sounds like a wonderful book that children will love! And there's also an element of responsibility too, with Tessy helping to clean up before mom comes home!
ReplyDeleteI also admire and think it's wonderful when proceeds are donated to a cause.
Sounds like a great book for my granddaughter - and LOVE the cover! Thanks for the review. :)
