This is Book 1 of the Bedtime Stories for Children Series. Make Believe is a short story collection for ages 5-8. This book is for early readers or children ages 5-8.
The illustrations and cover were created by my husband, John. He brought my stories to life with his colorful characters that your children will love. I wanted to create some short stories with just one illustration per stories for children who are early readers and want more stories in one book and less pictures.
Reading these short stories your children will feel like they are grownup having chapter books in their library. Each story carries life lessons that will instill in your children the importance of family values, kindness to others, it’s okay to be different, and friendship is important.
MOM’S CHOICE AWARD WINNER – SILVER MEDAL!
