Who we are
Hi, I’m Nerida—thank you so much for supporting us!
The idea for this book started a while ago, during a time when we really needed something like it ourselves. Our two boys were struggling with brushing their teeth, and it often felt like a daily battle. To help them through it, I began creating social stories, and my husband and I made up funny, simple, and catchy songs to turn everyday routines—like brushing teeth, showering, toileting, and getting dressed—into something fun and engaging. These playful moments helped take the stress out of daily tasks and shifted our kids’ focus toward what they could do, instead of what felt hard.
We often thought, “wouldn’t it be great if there were a song and book we could read and play each night to make things fun and less stressful?”
And so, Boptales was born!
