I’ve been telling stories to children all my life. I have 13 nieces and nephews, and for every single one of them, I have written a story and gifted it to them as their own personal story created by me. One of my nephews, who is now a doctor, recently told me he found an old notebook that had a story I wrote for him 35 years ago, and he gave it to me, asking me why I had stopped writing. He believed I should get it published. I was quite surprised that he had saved it all these years. As a result, I found myself digging through my old journals and writing new stories for children. I believe that my stories will inspire them with important life lessons about honesty, bravery, and family values.
