I created Tender Tales because I believe children are far more emotionally capable than they’re often given credit for. These stories focus on children as they experience realistic, everyday moments that might seem small to adults but are significant for a child.

Tender Tales help kids build resilience and navigate the world with empathy and kindness. All children and families are valued in Tender Tales. Many kinds of families are represented in these stories 🌈
