Two Stories to Help Kids with Shelter-in-Place

Once we realized that this is going to be a long haul, and not just several weeks of quarantine, David jumped to writing new stories.

We have TWO of them below: "Indiana Bat and the Tiny Camp Quarantine" and "Back Into the Dreamtime," both of which are crafted to help your family settle into the experience of shelter-in-place.

"Indiana Bat" will help inspire children to find the good in the situation, and "Back Into the Dreamtime" will soothe unsettled minds and bodies.

We hope they are helpful!
