“Getting involved in a project of short stories for children is an exciting engagement when you love kids!” Once upon a time there was a young girl who loved books. Books are a source of joy, fun, and knowledge. The young girl was ill very often, and family and friends would bring her books when visiting. And the more she read, the more she loved reading. As for everything else, the more you know about something, the more you want to know about it. With reading it’s the same. And the young girl’s imagination flourished with stories that would take her to other worlds; with stories she would tell to other children like her. As the young girl grew older, life changed gradually, and she no longer had time to tell stories, but they still popped up in her head, and she kept them in a secret place in her memory until a time when… Is it not said that old people become children a second time? And the once young girl had again all the time in the world to tell stories to young children! And stories happily came back from their forced exile and enjoyed filling in pages and pages of books. You might have guessed. I was the young girl.
