In today’s fast-paced, tech-dominated world, I feel that some of the natural interactions between family and friends are gradually eroding, if not already completely worn away for some. This thought led me to reflect on a profound quote by C.S. Lewis:
“A children’s story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children’s story in the slightest.”
The simple joy of laughing or crying among family and friends is being replaced by beeps, bops, and demands to ‘add new features,’ ‘why doesn’t this work?’ or ‘who’s hogging the Wi-Fi?’. It feels like we’re losing touch with the essence of what makes us human—our connections and shared experiences.
Motivated by this thought, I set out to create a fun and exciting series of children’s short stories, infused with adventure and splashes of humor. These tales are paced to hold children’s attention whether reading or listening, with the hope of offering a respite from the digital din.
My goal was to craft stories that will delight boys and girls, the young and old, and, of course, moms and dads. These tales aim to revive simpler values, ignite kid-like imagination in both children and adults, and, above all, bring families closer together. I hope these stories become a cherished part of family life, sparking moments of shared joy and laughter that we all so dearly need.
