    About this ebook

    In the woods, a group of friends gathers beneath the tall redwoods. There's a fire going against the chill.

    A child runs up to ask for a story with a story ticket in hand. Soon, all the children are turning in their tickets.

    Each child gets to decide who is in their story (princess, unicorn, dragon, robot, and so on) and what those characters are named.

    This book has been carefully packed with some of those stories.

      Introduction

      Imagine a campfire. Friends are gathered around in the tall redwoods. Tents cluster among the trees.

      At some point (okay, because I started it), the kids will ask me to tell a story. Now I’ve learned to put a limit on this sort of thing. They get a story ticket. Their parents get to decide when the ticket can be redeemed.

      When children turn in their tickets, they can have their story. They name the characters and who those characters are (kids, unicorns, goddesses, princesses, etc.). I tell a story based on that foundation.

      As I tell the story, I draw (very badly) little stick figures to show what’s going on. It also gives me something to take a picture of as I try to remember what I’ve said.

      This book offers a few variations of those stories. There is art, if modest in quality. I’ve left the names selected by the children, except where requested characters infringed on copyright.

      I hope you enjoy and feel a little bit of the campfire light and the storytelling that goes with it.

      Sparkles!!!

      Who Is in This Story?

      Goddess—Parina

      Unicorn—Rainbow Sparkles

      Princess—Blue Sparkles

      The Story

      The goddess Parina didn’t want to wake up and make rainstorms. She was comfy in her bed made of mountains. Her hair was all spread out making rivers while she slept.

      Her pet unicorn, Rainbow Sparkles, had been awake for hours. Hours and hours and hours. Prancing and leaping on a rainbow
