inBook Review of “TULLIE the TOUCAN” written by Victor Caprio.
I had the honour of reviewing an amazing children’s book “TULLIE the TOUCAN” by Author Victor Caprio.
Storyline
The book is about a magic journey of a toucan through the jungle with accurate descriptions how a toucan lives, eats, makes it nest, and it is all about his habitat. The toucan makes friends, Garreth, Gloria ,Carl and Mango through the journey of the book. Each friend will have their own book as the Author writes and publishes the full series.
The Author
Victor Caprio Writer Illustrator and Publisher of this book, as a young Canadian child had a passion for looking up famous authors. His favourite was Author Robert Munch. Victor always wanted to write story books for children. When I talked to him he told me how he loves nature, art, water colour painting, drawing and using his childlike demeanour to relate to children. He named this first book of the series in honour of his father Tullio, nicknamed Tullie. Victor recalls his dad, an artist who always encouraged him to draw and use his imagination. Victor still loves to watch cartoons, play with toys and has a special nephew Luca to play games with when they are together.
Review
This is all demonstrated in his book. The little story book is for a 2 to 6 year old child, and perfect for parents to read to their children. Psychological research demonstrates parent child reading produces positive secure bonding and attachment relationships. My training and experience in dealing with child psychology has taught me that you can not underestimate the value of parent and child reading. From the undivided attention of the parent to the child, children develop a sense of high self esteem. The Child then becomes a high achiever in their reading, and the learning from the educational aspects of the books accelerates their other academic studies Tullie the Toucan and the series are not only entertaining but have educational content.
“TULLIE the TOUCAN” is full of water colour illustrated pictures with fun rhythm words that educate children about wildlife and their habitat. The colourful beautiful illustrated pictures mirror the words for young children to learn reading at an early age.
The Colour and rhythm of the book would make any child’s face light up, as the book can make you feel like you are in the story with the character. It is somewhat like the experience of being in a fun soft wildlife children’s movie. Another important aspect of this book is that is it all the Authors original work. Therefore a child will have something new to read on a regular basis instead of the same old favourites by the large companies that produce children books. I can say with confidence that this book will soon become one of any child’s favourites. And how convenient this is to be able to have it stored in your phone for easy access.
Interesting I should mention movie because Victor is also an Actor and a Producer. Victor has written the next of his series of these fun, bright and beautiful educational children story books and we look forward to the next publication of Garreth the Gator again through Amazon.

It is a passion of mine to promote the Australian Film and Television Industry.
How fortunate Australian is to have such enormous talent in Cast and Crew for the making of Television Series, Movies, and Feature Films. How unfortunate it is that this talent is very underutilised. As a writer member of AWG I am proud to say they are doing their part to support writers in Australia.
Australia has a relatively small population compared to many other successful western county movie makers. This makes it extremely difficult to make an Australian quality television and motion pictures product and break even or make a profit. There is not enough viewer audience to pay for a high budget quality product. Not enough sales opportunities to market the product of Australian made television or feature films in its county or origan.
This means Australian audience also miss seeing Australian content on their screens.
I once read and agree low budged films often are less successful than the big budget one’s. That makes sense as they say you get what you pay for. Quality means paying the price.
It is noticeable that the long running Australian television series are often the ones that are sold to the USA or the UK. The ones that do not get the abroad sales are often scratched by networks as non-profitable. Not necessary non quality.
How do we promote our Australian Film and Television Industry? Well this is a Government, Community and Business responsibility. Government can lead the way. We have the talent to grow our economy on an industry that has wasted underutilised talent. Australia has a beautiful county to show to its own viewers and the world.

inSome of you may recall some previous 2013 blogs I published on After Life and Interest. True Psychic , and Proof of Karma. Given the interest that continues on the topic I have some new ideas for you to consider.
What evidence do we have how the photographs of the two rainbows were created and how they exists? What science basis is there for these rainbow as compared to the knowledge we obtain about the existence of Life after Death.
Science would say they are developed from the earth’s atmosphere, is every Scientific finding correct. How could they be when they are often contradictory? How often do we read findings on the foods we eat that contradict another?
Are you one who believes that when our body dies that is the end? There is nothing more of you to go on somewhere else. For example as something different, like a spirit. There are many books, some I have read that talk about this subject. Even some that includes the theory of reincarnation. Many talk about our spirit existing in a place that is commonly known as the other side. Many believe that spirits often attend their own funeral. Some believe that spirits also visit their love ones during times of significant events. Like a birthday, graduation.
Let us think about this for a moment. Think about our imagination, our creativity. Think about movie scripts and how writers use their creativity to invent such large scale creative story lines.
Some believe that our creativity comes from God or from spirits around us. Others who study psychology might say it comes from the subconscious or higher mind during our sleep.
Life after Death from a Psychic Medium Perspective and faith verses science.
You would be surprised how many people are interested in the afterlife. Does it exist? Are our love ones still out there somewhere. By the Grace of God a True Psychic can often pick up on seeing or receiving messages from those spirits passed over. It is a very interesting topic and one that many overwhelm me with questions.
I am, a True Psychic Medium, evident by my ability to predict the future with a high degree of accurately. My experiences of being able to convey accurate messages from known passed love ones of a stranger. Strangers I knew nothing about. Also evident by me being able to communicate with the spirits around strangers or acquaintances. For example ; Providing an outline psychical and personality description of the passed loved one. Then providing information that only the stranger would know from the passed over loved one.
I am also capable to trance with spirit, speaking in toughs through my body. An article in issue 33 page 54 of “That’s Life” magazine dated 21st August 2014 out now outlines my story. I also can trance during a meditation session and spirit speaks through me giving messages in English. See photo of me some many years ago in yellow jeans in a group meditation circle.
I like many psychics use tools like Tarot Cards or a tea cup. But often this is a simply way of making the receiver of the message feel less spooked. They think it is all coming from the tarot card. But in fact a true psychic only uses the cards as an added tool. Most of the messages come from spirits around communicating with the psychic. It is like being an interpreter.
I agree with those who believe accurate messages come from God. You get more accurate when you live a “ God Like” life. Some say it is the work of the devil. Other say Jesus was psychic. He always knew ahead of time. I do readings for those who need guidance without charge. I do overhead & readings for charity events.
True Story
I once had a supervisor who like no other had this obsession of informing me every day of where he had placed every item in the workplace. He said it was in case he was suddenly struck by death without notice.
I ,as a psychic medium made a deal with him that if he passed before me he would come back and tell me what it was like.
He did. He was taken in a vehicle accident suddenly and I later picked up his spirit with a message to me that said. “It is somewhat the same on the other side as it is on earth. Not a lot of difference”
I raise the question, how do some of us know what will occur months even years ahead of time. A Psychic Medium teacher once told me I had a special gift. Some considerable time later I realised what that was. It became clear to me at a later time that I had the gift of a psychic medium and ability to predict events ahead of time.
This gift is now and has been for most of my life a part of my everyday life. I treat it as a gift from God and am thankful to have such a special talent. I use it as I was taught, to make life better for others, in other words “serving God”.
