More information:
Meet Ollie-Bollie and Bobs, two kids who think their mum has a saying for absolutely everything!
From the "Ok Mum song and dance" to "Listen Learn, Laugh and be kind", their mums silly sayings cover it all - eating your "five and two", being a problem solver, and why "only boring people get bored!". But behind every funny phrase is a gentle lesson about health living, kindness and growing up as a happy human being.

Written by Lucy Byrne, whose background and expertise in health and community underpins her current work as a connection specialist. Lucy, who is also a dedicated mum, co-founded the award winning company Healthy Tasmania, and was inspired to write this children's book when her son, at six years old, could name all the planets in the solar system but had no idea why sugar wasn't great for him. That moment made her realise how tricky it can be for parents to talk to their kids about healthy habits in a way that makes sense to them.
