The Tickly Tick

A playful picture book on tick safety — for ages 3–12

In the heart of the forest, a mischievous little tick spends her days tickling every creature she meets — until she meets Emilio, who uses a simple trick his granny taught him to stop her for good.

The Tickly Tick is a playful, giggle-filled picture book that teaches kids the single most important habit for staying safe outdoors: doing a tick check after playing outside. Written by a microbiologist with over a decade of experience studying tick-borne disease, it turns real prevention science into a story kids will want to read again and again.

What kids will learn

  • Why tick checks matter after time outdoors
  • What to look for when checking
  • A simple, memorable trick to stay safe

Perfect for parents, teachers, camp counselors, and anyone who wants outdoor play to stay safe and fun — for kids ages 3–12.
