Chris Cochrane’s Children’s Book About a Whimsically-Named House Helper to be Displayed at the Printers Row Lit Fest 2023

For decades, the Printers Row area of Chicago was a busy publishing hub and the starting point of many books, newspapers, and magazines. Today, that still lives on in events like the Printers Row Lit Fest, where new authors exhibit their work for visiting readers.

Chris Cochrane is one of these recently published writers. His book The Dinglehopper Blueberry Belly-Button Snooter is a funny children’s story about a hidden house helper with the strangest name.

A salesman by profession, Cochrane has a highly active imagination with a fondness for fantasy, science fiction, and comically made-up words. Before writing the book, he would always use this talent to amuse his four kids.

But given how funny his story-telling talent was, Cochrane’s wife suggested he try a hand at children’s books so that other kids could enjoy the weirdly wonderful creatures made in his imagination.

The Dinglehopper Blueberry Belly-Button Snooter follows the story of two sisters who discover something unusual about their home. Their mother is always busy with chores, yet they always find their room clean and dust-free, as if someone has been cleaning it in their stead.

When they tell their Dad about it, he reveals a strange truth. There is something that’s cleaning their room: it’s the Dinglehopper Blueberry Button Snooter.

Naturally, the two sisters couldn’t believe such a creature really existed. But when their Dad sounds quite serious about it, the three decide to find this mysterious house helper so they can properly thank it for all its help.

Visitors to the Printers Row Lit Fest will get a chance to see if the creature truly exists when Chris Cochrane’s The Dinglehopper Blueberry Belly-Button Snooter goes on display at the ReadersMagnet exhibit. The Printers Row Lit Fest 2023 will kick off at its usual spot at Printers Row Park in South Loop, Chicago, Illinois, on September 9–10, 2023. Get the book today on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
