Lessons from the Unlikely: I want more
What if the world slowed down long enough to let a bee speak? Or a silver spoon tells its story? Or a roll of feisty fabrics reveals its secrets?
In Lessons from the I Want More, twelve enchanting short stories unfold through the voices of creatures and objects often overlooked. From a proud piece of silverware adjusting to change, to a tabby cat learning humility, to a bee discovering her worth, each tale offers a quiet spark of transformation.
Told with warmth, wit, and lyrical charm, these stories celebrate small moments, gentle humour, and the power of listening—to ourselves, to others, and to the unlikely characters we meet along the way.
Perfect for thoughtful teens and adult readers (and welcoming to English learners), this collection entertains and inspires, lingering like the last line of a favourite story.
If you’ve ever longed for tales that whisper instead of shout—this book is your invitation.

Lessons from the unlikely is a collection of short stories that transport you into the minds of a piece of cutlery, an insect, even the heel of the bread loaf (which I absolutely love eating— I’ve never understood why people look down on that slice! 🤷♀️).
With beautiful reflections on maturity, personal growth, and the value of each individual, among other themes, I felt as if I were once again reading the bedtime stories I heard as a child. Short tales, yet filled with virtues and uplifting messages that stayed with you long after finishing them, leaving you thinking—and wishing for more 🙌.
It was a pleasure to read you, Juliet. I’m so glad that writing became a way for you to express yourself at a time when we all felt confined, unable to step out into the world.
We want more stories, Teacher! 🫶🏻💕

I really enjoyed reading these short stories and finding myself connecting with characters, animals, and even objects! They reminded me of those bedtime stories your mom used to read when you were little 🥺, but this time they made me stop and really think about the message behind them, and admire the marvelous way they’re written: you actually feel transported to the exact moment where the story takes place. Allow yourself to be a bee, a spoon, a chamaleon, the heel of the bread loaf… the options are unthinkable, and they leave you feeling like: I WANT MORE! ❤️🙌
