Wexford man releases new children’s book ahead of Christmas

A magical new children’s adventure, Toothens’ Tale, has officially launched in Ireland, blending friendship, courage, ancient magic, and Irish storytelling into a world that young readers are already falling in love with…

Written by Wexford author Graeme Moore, Toothens’ Tale follows the journey of Toothens, a small, wingless fairy who must navigate the enchanted land of Tandoria to restore the Crystal of Light and protect her world from a rising darkness.

Despite her fears and her differences, Toothens discovers that bravery doesn’t come from strength, it comes from kindness, loyalty, and the friends who stand by you.

The name “Toothens” comes from a gentle Irish expression once used by parents when a child lost a baby tooth: “How’s your Toothens?” This warm, everyday phrase has now inspired the fairy who will try to save her entire world.

Moore, who works with thousands of children through his Next Level Entertainment gaming vans and glam vans, saw how much stories help kids with confidence, worry, identity, and resilience.

“Toothens was created for every child who has ever felt left out, ‘too small,’ or not quite like everyone else. Her journey mirrors the moments when real children find their voice, stand up for their friends, and discover their own magic.”

Beautifully Illustrated, Perfect for Readers 9+

With a richly built world, emotional storytelling, and a cast of enchanting characters, including Raton the fox and Pip the hedgehog. The book is designed for independent readers aged 9+, but is also perfect as a shared family story.
