Grandmother is old, kind, and she knows many stories. Between the pages of her psalter can be found a pressed withered rose that she often regards with a smile on her lips. Do you know why? Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

When I was 13, my Grandma would babysit, even though I was just about the age I didn't need one. She knew I was gay, and we would watch movies, and order pizza. Then she would put me to bed with a fairy tale. Now, she changed them to be gay themed, for me. She was also crazy funny. And slightly off color. And was kinda like Aunt Clara from Bewitched. I never knew what to expect. To say I laughed like a lunatic would be an understatement. I have recreated as much as I could remember of her funny attempts in her wild way to make me feel that it was okay, to grow up and dream about finding a prince of my own. If I wanted to. I added my own spin to make them even funnier. Warning: These are gay comedy stories. With adult language and situations. Expect the unexpected, but laugh a lot I hope.

A Christmas-cookie sweet story perfect for families to share! Three bouncing little bear siblings, wrapped tight in their winter clothes, can't wait to tromp through the snow for Baking Day at Grandma's!

Then they wrap it up as gifts in ribbons to show that sweets are even better when they're shared. With a recipe in the back, this is a perfect family feel-good story for the fall, winter, and any holiday spent with grandparents. Praise for BAKING DAY AT GRANDMA'S: "This gentle story will leave children feeling warm and fuzzy. It’s perfect for individual sharing, storytime, baking time, and pretty much any time."--School Library Journal "A rollicking, rhyming salute to the grandmother-grandchild bond."--Kirkus Reviews "Three vivacious bears spend a pleasant and productive day with their grandmother in this warm tale."--Publishers Weekly "[W]arm and cuddly and brimming with character..."--BCCB

James was an avid lover of fairy tales growing up. Once he'd gotten through all of Aesop, Grimm, and Hans Christian Anderson, his grandmother, Gale, began writing new stories for him. Told in the same manner a traditional fairy tale would be told, she wove stories of kidnapped cats, spinsters who wish the wrong wish, cursed mills, Vikings, zombies, transformations, and more. She did it to inspire creativity in her children and grandchildren, and now we publish them to inspire creativity in others.This collection includes: The Baker's Cat, The Mill, The Spinster, The Fairy Godmother's Sorrow, The Maiden and the Merchant, and The Misadventures of Billy Brigston. May you find some joy in this small collection, just as James and his family did. And may you one day write your own timeless tales and encourage your children to weave their own stories, no matter how silly they may think they're being.
