Did you know not every elf works at the North Pole? It’s true. Some elves are self-employed and only take jobs they think are best. This story is about one such elf, Flumberton Cabbagesmith, who tries to help a boy who never seems to want any help at all. This story is really about learning to accept help when you need it, and being open to help when it is offered. Make sure you are subscribed to the podcast so you never miss an episode!

Ava Takes The Moon is another children’s story about BIG feelings and the lengths we may go to in order to assuage them. Why are so many of my stories about big feelings? Because our feelings impact every aspect of our lives, and tiny people are often overwhelmed and fearful of their own strong emotions. Why do people ask and answer their own questions? I’m not sure. It’s a very odd habit. Make sure you are subscribed to the podcast so you never miss an episode!
