The trouble with strangers.

The trouble children find with strangers is that it can be impossible to look at someone and know their intent.
Not every person they meet is a lurking danger, but do we want them taking the chance and engaging them.
In short the answer is a firm NO.
On the same token we want our kids to polite and courteous.
How do we teach them in a way that will stick with them, that talking to strangers can be dangerous?
I have tackled this tough issue, and believe I have a story that can be used as a tool to help push the notion home to them.
In my story ( Stranger days) Sammy the shark has his first encounter with a stranger, learn along with Sammy as he discovers the hidden dangers of strangers.

Readings

I would love to do readings of my new story, to children, to see what they think about the story.
I'm very happy with this one, a few things need tweaked. But it's solid!

The adventures of Sammy the shark revisited

I plan on taking all 4 stories.
And doing a rewrite to the and expanding the content, somewhere between a short story and a novelette !
Billy the bully
The luckiest shark
The saddest day ever
Hurry up and wait
I really looking forward to it, I believe the message I these stories are strong, but I think that they can offer more.
And I'm going to bring out more!

As I finish up these next finish few stories.
I have begun work on the coral kingdom series, it's a children's fantasy tale.
I'm very excited about this, because I am an avid fantasy reader. And love the genre!
