The e-book guide to telling amazing stories for kids
Once upon a time…
There was a rainbow-colored pig named Fruity.
She lives in the collective imagination of our family. We have been telling bedtime stories about Fruity and her pals for over a year. The process of creating these stories together has brought us joy and laughter, and unexpectedly beautiful moments of closeness at the end of our days.
We’ve learned a ton about how to tell stories together as a family. Our stories let us imagine together, embrace creativity, and explore our questions and curiosity about the world. I wrote a book to help you integrate this practice of storytelling into the life of your family.
