Stories That Help – courage and hope in difficult world

This is a book of fifty short stories. They are all written to be read out loud. This is part of my advocacy of the value of story telling in aiding individual and community well being - hearing, telling stories can nurture resilience, learning, remembering and power. Of course you can just read them to yourself. I also offer this work because I think that working for a better world needs flourishing imaginations. These are a tiny encouragement towards that. Some of the stories are gentle, others are tougher. Some of them are very old, others are new. The stories are in four suites: Earth, Love, Resistance and Peace. I have been told by readers that they have both laughed and cried at different points in their reading.
