**Introduction: **
Since my earliest memories, the tradition of bedtime stories has been a cherished part of my life. With my parents as the enchanting storytellers, each night unfolded a new and captivating tale. The playful banter during those bedtime conversations became a delightful ritual, where I’d eagerly ask my father to cook up a new story, and he, in his whimsical way, would claim that the cooker was on the sto
ve, and the story was simmering for me to relish.
**Growing Up with Stories: **
As I journeyed through childhood, the magic of my father’s storytelling skills left an indelible mark on me. Filled with awe, I often exclaimed to my father, "Nanna (Dad), your stories are incredible! You should consider becoming an author so that many other kids can enjoy your stories too." Encouraged by my words, my father planted the seed of a dream in me-to write down those captivating tales with the aspiration of sharing them with a wider audience.
**A Dream Realized: **
Today, I am ecstatic to announce the realization of that dream-the publication of my first book. Within the vast collection of stories that hold a special place in my heart, a select few have been carefully chosen to compile into this book. It is a dream come true to witness these stories leap from the realms of my imagination to the tangible pages of a book. My fervent hope is that they bring the same joy and enchantment to readers as they did to me during those magical bedtime moments.
