About the Author
Meet Graeme Moore, the storyteller behind Toothens’ Tale.
Graeme Moore
Dad, dreamer, and creator of magical worlds on wheels and on paper.
Graeme Moore is the award-winning co-founder of Next Level Entertainment along with his wife Donna, the company behind Ireland’s much-loved Gaming Vans and Pink Ladies Glam Van. When he’s not bringing parties to driveways across the country, he’s usually dreaming up new stories, worlds and adventures for children and families to share.
Toothens’ Tale began as a bedtime idea, shaped by walks in Irish woodlands, conversations with his son Logan, and a lifelong love of magical, slightly mysterious stories. Graeme wanted a hero who didn’t fit the usual mould—a wingless fairy who proves that courage isn’t about how you look, but the choices you make when things get hard.
From there, Tandoria grew into a full world of Eldertrees, ancient guardians, playful tricksters and a girl whose kindness is her greatest power.
Why Tell Toothens’ Story?
Working with children and families every week, Graeme sees just how much stories matter. Kids arrive at the Gaming Van or Glam Van with their own worries, big feelings and quiet strengths. Many don’t realise that the very things that make them different are exactly what make them special.
Toothens was created for every child who has ever felt left out, “too small”, or a little bit different. Her journey through Tandoria mirrors the moments when real children find their voice, stand up for their friends and discover that they are braver than they thought.
The book weaves heart, friendship and a touch of darkness together— reminding readers that even when the forest feels frightening, there is always a light worth walking toward.
Life Beyond the Page
Graeme lives in County Wexford with his wife Donna, their son Logan, and a busy family life that often sneaks into his stories in one form or another. When he isn’t writing or running events, you’ll usually find him tinkering with new ideas, sketching out future books, or planning the next adventure for Toothens and her friends.
His hope is that Toothens’ Tale will be the first step in a wider world of stories—books, events and experiences that children can return to as they grow, always finding something new hidden between the branches of Tandoria.
