THE ANT FARM

171 Words

I hear the wheels of her bike.

I hide in the closet.

My heart scurries fast, like the ants racing forward in my ant farm.

My baby sister, her bike creaking, her bell ringing, rides on.

THE WHISTLE
318 Words

I hear the sound of my Daddy’s whistle.
I hear it on the wind.

My Daddy has to go away for work.
I miss him when he’s gone.
I wait for him.

Stories that honor the emotional world of children told with quiet power, poetic language and boundless imagination. 

I write stories that celebrate imagination, intergenerational connection and resilience which is the ability to bounce back from adversity.  They are slightly silly stories with meaningful undertones that are perfect for young children ages 2 to 8.
