You are the one who explains things in both directions — to a child or grandchild who is not listening yet, and to a parent who is being asked to live in a world that changed without them. All while carrying a full life of your own. These books are written to help you do that.
A ten-year-old does not go looking for a book about the Second World War. An eighty-year-old does not go looking for a book about artificial intelligence. Somebody who loves them goes looking on their behalf. That person is who we write for.
Money, courage and character — written so a child or teenager will actually read them, and so you have something to point at when the conversation stalls.
Plain explanations of the things that have quietly become compulsory. Written for an older reader who is capable and not stupid, and tired of being talked down to.
Because the person holding everything together occasionally needs a book that was written with them in mind rather than about them.
A boy learns from his great-grandfather that courage takes many forms. For the child who says they do not like history, and for the grandparent hoping to be asked about it.
Available in paperback, hardcover, ebook and audiobook.
Short letters for the person in the middle — about the conversations that run up and down a family, and the books that help you start them. No schedule you have to keep up with, and you can leave whenever you like.
One letter at a time. Unsubscribe in one click, always.
