A little background behind the story.
I am excited to see “Charlie and the Tire Swing! How It Began!” in the stores and online for purchase! Several people have asked me how I write stories so quickly, so I decided to share a little insight into my writing world with all of you. When I first came up with the idea of writing a story about a little boy and his tire swing — I wanted to share his adventures. My son is the inspiration for the stories as he enjoyed his tire swing so much that he could not wait to go outside and play. He would often ask me to come and watch him and tell me stories as he played and went on adventures.
So today, I look back on fond memories as a young mom watching my son enjoy his imagination. In speaking with my publisher, we realized it would be fun to have a story that shared how the tire swing came to be. So now you have the first book, “Charlie and the Tire Swing! How It Began!“I love this story on so many levels. As many of you know, family history is important to me. This story is an intergenerational story. I hope it will bring questions from the young listener to ask about their great-grandparents and grandparent. I would enjoy hearing from you about your own generational stories!
