Welcome to Tiny Garden Story-land

… where each of my 100-word Tiny Garden Stories, Tiny Garden Story books, and Tiny Garden Story-land illustrations is a petite little love letter to the stories we adored when we were children, to the magical gardens and enchanted forests we visited in our imaginations, and to the tiny treasures we collected along the way.

 

And you know what? Each one is also a love letter to my former self, and yours … to the little kids who used to (and those who still do) believe that fairies and gnomes are real, that trees and animals can talk, that rabbits are gathering somewhere in the woods for a tea party, and that magic lies just beyond the garden gate.

 

 

News, behind-the-scenes, and more

 

Here on my blog, you’ll find essays — some short, some longer — on books & reading, the benefits (and joys) of reading “children’s books” as an adult, forest bathing, and living a life full of imagination and everyday magic … plus behind-the-scenes tidbits, author news, and sneak peeks of new Read+Purr books & gifts, before they go on sale.
