Cristina Gonzalez is an entrepreneur managing 2 brands in the e-commerce world. One of which, 20 Moments of Tooth, was inspired by her family traditions centered around the Tooth Fairy. The rite of passage of losing one's tooth is a time that fills most children with mixed feelings of anxiety, delight, and everything in between. Cristina, and her husband Daniel, realized with their first child that these 20 baby teeth that had to be shed, presented them with an opportunity to connect on a deeper level with their children. And when their daughter took it upon herself to begin a pen-pal relationship with her Tooth Fairy, well a tradition was born and 20 Moments of Tooth began.
Cristina & Daniel's author journey began one Tooth Fairy Letter at a time, each centered around a new virtue that the Tooth Fairy would present. They now have 5 Tooth Fairy Letters bundled together in a kit so that the Tooth Fairy can present these virtue poems to your own children as well.
Their debut children's book, Tooth Be Told, was again inspired by a conversation they overheard their kids having. A hysterical exchange from two very different perspectives on the eventuality that all baby teeth are lost and a fairy DOES come to visit and the anxiety around what it takes to grow up. It takes Courage to grow up, it take Kindness & Compassion to listen to one another's different ideas, and it takes a sense of wonder to let go of any control and just take it all in.
