Tell Me a Story
Remember when life's lessons were taught in tales by characters who shared our loves, losses and weaknesses? There were nights when trouble could be dispelled by sitting in someone's arms and being read a story. Then we grew up, and the answers that came from books were in our own hands, but they often lacked the comfort and wisdom of the nursery lore.
TELL ME A STORY, a series of modern fables, was written to give back to grownups the security and comfort of answers found in the arms of a loved one. Instead of advising or preaching, the storyteller allows the reader to take a breather from a world where problems demand immediate solutions.
Though we have grown and our problems have become more complex, many solutions remain as simple as remembering the basics of love, honesty, friendship, and faith. Come into this world of old and new where eagles soar for love, chameleons fight for justice, and carousels turn lives around.

Charming fable like stories that are a delight, very original. I like Chandra's Change would be great to share with a shy child, Looking Up and a Bird's Paradise are also wonderful tales. I would love to get in touch with the author and get permission to tell some of those tales.

A nice book of fables! I enjoyed the reminders of how to live life with kindness, gratitude and love.
Would be a nice book to read to your children and then discuss.
