The story behind the story:

My daughter calls my Dad "Hop." It came from something that happened when she was very young and it just stuck as these things do. I'd been playing around with the idea of a Grandad Hoppity-Hop story for ages but hadn't come up with a plot. One day, I saw Becky's portfolio online and that night I wrote the first draft of the story that became The Whisker Twitchers. I so love this story! I couldn't come up with a title for it though and for ages it was called Grandad Hoppity-Hop and the Snow Rabbit. That was until a session at a local school where one of the children in Year 3 suggested The Whisker Twitchers and it stuck. I am very grateful to Jackson for the wonderful title.
