Adults looking for juvenile short stories that demonstrate kindness, patience, and gratitude should place Nana's Heartwarming Tales: Tiny Whispers at the top of recommendation lists for young readers. It consists of five short family-oriented stories that explore not just kindness, but being thoughtful, thankful, and content. Each theme is embedded into the story title to encourage quick associations between plot and purpose.
​
Each tale defines a trait and then presents a story exemplifying and supporting it. These stories will prove especially powerful when read-aloud adults become involved in discussions about the adventure and how the characters approached problem-solving, finding solutions that work for everyone involved. Concluding thoughts also add value, summarizing events and offering further interactive opportunities.
​
Tiny Whispers is highly recommended for parents, educators, and elementary-level libraries interested in stories that promote positivity, cooperation, and understanding. Its outstanding approach to illustrating a wide range of life approaches will prove perfect for adults seeking to engage the very young in understanding not just the nature around them, but the impact of their own choices, actions, and decisions.
A Note from Nana and Cory
Hello,
​
Did you know friendships are built on giving gifts of virtues such as forgiveness, kindness, and caring? It's like the game of 'toss and catch.' If you toss thoughtfulness to someone, and they toss thoughtfulness back to you, your journey of making the world a better place has just begun!
​
Cory, a tiny hummingbird, helped Vicki write Nana's Heartwarming Tales. The stories are about four children: Cara, Aimee, Buddy, and cousin Jed. Everyone calls them The Pals. They can't wait for you to read about their adventures.
​
Join Cory's Pals and enjoy giving your friends and family gifts of love.
​
Love,
Nana and Cory
