At the insistence of friends and family, Bill began writing short stories for reading to his church pre-school children. That is where Big Stories for Small Children was born. Bill and his wife Sue live on their seven acre age old farm in the middle of the big city. The stories in this book are about the animals who live on their little "farm" named "A Touch of Nature". These stories reflect "Grampa Bill's" love of the land, the animals who live there, and of course his love of children.
