A Collection of Heartwarming Stories for Kids and Their Grown-Ups
This book was born from the bedtime stories my father once told. While you won’t find Greek gods here, you will find short, playful stories with simple morals about kindness, manners, and being a decent human being. I’m no expert, no role model, just a grumpy old uncle passing along a little good-natured wisdom gathered from life, family, and a few nieces and a nephew who grew up far too fast.
