Children’s Stories

I started writing children’s stories as improvised bedtime tales for my daughter, who demanded real answers to complicated questions. These stories assume kids are competent thinkers who can handle complexity, nuance, and genuine emotion.

Piper’s Bedtime Stories

Improvisational tales born from “What two things do you want in tonight’s story?” – scary animals and talking trees, woodchucks and good witches. Each story celebrates children’s intelligence with real measurements, authentic emotions, and meaningful problem-solving. Three complete manuscripts ready for illustration; additional stories in development. Ages 3-6Sample titles: The Scary Animal and the Talking Tree, The Fox and the Hound, The Talking Christmas Ornament
