From The CWL Bookshelf: The Tilly Green Series by Brittany Crawford

Brittany Crawford’s love of children is apparent in her enthusiasm to engage her young audience through her series of Tilly books. She has reached out to grade school children with uplifting and educational messages from her fictional character, Tilly Green. Brittany’s book, The Terrible Tornado, was inspired from a real life event as she herself sat in a safe room and read to grade school children during a tornado scare. It was during that traumatic event that she realized that young children could greatly benefit from practical and foundational weather information. Events of the fictitious ferocious flood were inspired by Brittany’s Sunday School teachers as she learned as a child about the events of the great flood recorded in the book of Genesis. Brittany Crawford is one of those rare souls who not only supports community, educational, and faith-based programs for children, she also steps up to the plate and helps in many aspects of hands-on help in her hometown. She is well loved by young and old alike. Parents who are considering purchasing books from the Tilly series can do so with confidence that children will benefit from the life lessons highlighted in each of Brittany Crawford’s books.

Brittany has painted a picture of a community pulling together to help one another in a flood, a tornado, and a thunderstorm that taught not only practical lessons, but life lessons as well. Tilly Green, who is the main character in these weather-related books, truly represents Brittany’s target audience of first through fifth graders. The series of books is interspersed with humor and drama, keeping the reader engaged from “Page 1” until “The End”. Children will easily relate to the events surrounding Tilly and her friends, and will come away not only being entertained, but educated as well.
