GLEN GARDNER, N.J. (PRWEB) January 04, 2013
With a desire to share her stories with children all over the world, Susan Hankinson penned “Tell Me a Story, Grammy Sue” (published by AuthorHouse), a simple, quaint collection of short stories about overcoming fear with imagination.
Each short story brings readers into a world of fear – most were taken from Hankinson’s children – and Hankins then turns that world upon its head by debunking the mysteries that cause the fear. Each story also brings bright, colorful pictures to help children immerse themselves in the story – imagination is key. As readers progress through the collection, they will ride an emotional roller coaster that will leave them wanting more.
An excerpt from “Tell Me a Story, Grammy Sue”:
“It didn’t matter when it was, I didn’t want to be the person who had to go to the basement for a jar of fruit. The cellar was very dark except for the glare of the light bulb on the far side of the room by the shelves of canned goods. The steps leading down to the basement were very narrow and squeaky, and I was sure that IT was just waiting for me to reach that last step and IT would attack. I never figured out what IT was, but I knew where IT lived - in my cellar, which was always cold and damp and smelled of musty clothes.”
