On family vacations, my grandson would ask me for a bedtime story. Thus the Skunky Stories began. These stories are meant to ease children's minds by transforming them into a peaceful innocent time. Along the way, children learn the importance of good decisions, solving problems, and living with others peacefully. Join Skunky and his friend Petunia growing up in the forest as they make large kites and fly high in the sky. Suddenly they are being swept away. Will they be rescued by the fisherman? In another adventure, Skunky and Petunia enjoy a day at the circus, eating candied apples, riding the merry-go-around, and seeing cages of bears, lions, and monkeys--things Skunky had never seen before. A wonderful day of happy memories! May this book serve as a comfort and a release from current events for children everywhere as they read about Skunky growing up. It has action and experiences all to the delight and entertainment of children.
