These audiobooks, about a little girl (Me) and her new baby brother, were developed as a fun project during these difficult times. They are stories told from the point of view of a very precocious little girl who offers astute and often hilarious observations of life with her new baby brother, her family and the wider world as she sees it.
With a child’s perspective at play, the stories are full of innocent irreverence and they were created with one simple goal in mind … to bring laughter into the lives of those who choose to listen to them.
The cloudless sky suddenly roared like thunder. Shadows, swift and frightening, descended.
Illustrated by Mandy Foot, Published by Little Book Press
