Amazing Algorithms All Around You! By Shradha Shah
2026/01/15
Story number 32 is here!
It’s called: 'Amazing Algorithms All Around You!’
Written by Shradha Shah and illustrated by Shailly Gajjar
This story takes you on a journey through the hidden patterns that guide our everyday lives. From the order we get ready in the morning, to the steps a chef follows in a busy kitchen - algorithms are working behind the scenes, helping the world run smoothly.
Shradha Shah:
“As a software engineer with over fifteen years of experience and more importantly, a mum of two. I wrote this book because of a moment that changed everything. During the pandemic, my young boys would watch me coding all day and ask, "What do you do, Mum?” I wanted to answer them in a way that didn’t require screens or apps-just the simplicity of our daily life and the quiet magic of bedtime stories. I realised that our everyday routines already reflect the fundamentals of coding. So I started breaking down those, “big tech words” into something their little minds already understood. This story focuses on one powerful concept: Algorithms. By using relatable examples from your child’s daily life, this book gives them a gentle, screen-free introduction to how coding really works. It’s not just a story, it’s a foundation, helping them build confidence, curiosity and readiness for the digital future. I hope this brings you the same joy it brought our home and helps you see that you don’t need to be a tech expert to raise one”.
Thank you Shradha! It’s the perfect blend of imagination and learning - ideal for curious kids, young thinkers, and families who love exploring how things work!

The Mid-Autumn Festival
2025/10/05
I’m excited to share a brand-new story all about the Mid-Autumn Festival!🏮🐇🍂
When I first moved to Hong Kong eight years ago, the Mid-Autumn Festival was completely new to me. Over the years, I’ve learnt about its beauty and meaning, and now I’m so excited to share that wonder with you! If this festival is new to you, I hope this story helps you discover something special. And if it’s already a tradition you celebrate, may it feel like a comforting reminder of your own memories and traditions 🥰
A very special thank you to all the children who shared their incredible artwork! 🎨💛 Your creativity brings the Mid-Autumn Festival to life! Thank you to Colby for the cover art! I taught Colby when he was only four years old 🥹
Let’s journey into the magic of the Mid-Autumn Festival together 😃🌕✨

Where Am I From? Jade Amez
2025/09/22
Story number 30 is here and it’s a special one for National Family Day 🫶🏽
It’s called:
'Where Am I From?’ Written by Jade Amez.
@whereamifrombook
Illustrated by Meg Rafferty.
Jade Amez’s story is inspired by her adoption journey and the many ways people are connected. She believes it’s important to show children that love and belonging don’t have just one shape - you don’t have to look alike to share a home, a bond, or a story.
Jade:
'Growing up, I rarely saw children’s books that reflected the adoptee experience or mixed families. So, sharing my own story became not only a way to address this societal need but also a deeply personal healing journey. This book is a conversation starter - a way to talk about family, differences, identity, complex emotions and racial sensitivity. I hope my book helps expand the understanding of what ‘family' and ‘home' can truly mean and encourages every reader to feel a sense of belonging’
Her debut book celebrates the beauty of mixed, blended and multi-cultural families, assuring young readers that there is no shame in their unique family structure. Her book gently encourages conversations about cultural diversity and self-discovery, while beautifully illustrating the reality that families are wonderfully diverse.
Jade's story offers readers the opportunity to cultivate empathy, reflect on their personal narratives, deepen their understanding of adoption, and ultimately embrace their identity - not letting where you're born or where you live define you.
Thank you Jade for writing this emotive story ❤️

Jordan's Happiest Christmas - Sanduni Lankadari Mendis
2024/12/11
Story number is here and it’s a festive one 🥰 🎅 ☃️ 🎄 🤶 🛷
This delightful tale illuminates the beauty of spreading happiness and love during the holiday season 🥰
It’s called, Jordan’s Happiest Christmas.
Written by Sanduni Lankadari Mendis
@Sanduni_lankadari_mendis
@dreaming_panda_publications
Illustrated by Sandamini Dissanayake
@dinu_illustrator
Sanduni:
“As you all know, Christmas is the perfect time to reach out to others to spread joy and bring peace. This story will give an essence of true happiness to the little readers. They will understand that Christmas is not just about receiving gifts but also about being there for someone.
They will understand that this feeling is not just a mere feeling but a deep fulfilling feeling which keeps your heart truly at peace.
I wanted to communicate the true meaning of Christmas to the kids, not by big deep words, but by colourful illustrations and a beautiful simple story of little jordan's curious question to her dadda, "What makes you truly happy?"
The inspiration behind this project came from realising how Christmas has gradually turned into a commercialised event, overshadowing its true meaning. In today’s busy and business-driven world, the essence of this beautiful season seems to be lost. I felt the need to bring back its true spirit by starting with little minds, as they are more open and moldable than adults.
My hope is that, through this, they will grow to embrace and cherish the true meaning of Christmas amidst the chaos of modern busy life.”
Thank you Sanduni and we hope you all truly enjoy this magical story of the true meaning of Christmas ☺️🎄

The Story of Diwali
2024/11/03
A new story episode is on the podcast and this one shines brightly 🎇😍
Diwali for me represents so many elements. From visiting family and friends and eating some sort of nasto (Indian snacks), going to the mandir (sometimes three!) preparing the tray of sweet treats for guests to have (Smarties galore), homes being filled with delicious delicacies such as my mum’s homemade chakri (spiral shaped snacks) and the night sky being filled with fireworks! 🎆
This episode can be used in schools or simply teaching your own children about the festival.
Recommended age category - 5+ (discretion advised for young children)
Sending love from our family to yours!
Wherever you are in the world - we hope the light of Diwali shines in your heart all year round 🪔 🎆🎇🌅

The Magic Within You - Alessandra Amico-Jones
2024/01/26
Story number 26 is here!
This next story is about a young girl named Joy. She experiences something negative in her life but through learning EFT (the Emotional Freedom Technique) she finds happiness again.
The story is called: The Magic Within You
Written by: Alessandra Amico-Jones @alessandra_amicojones
Illustrated by Febriyana Fadillah
What is EFT?
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique and it is also known as tapping because of the tapping motion of the fingers on the different spots. EFT is based on the ancient Chinese practice of Acupuncture but instead of sticking needles in our body, we simply tap with our fingertips. It focuses on tapping the 12 meridian points of the body to relieve symptoms of a negative experience or emotion.
Alessandra's journey:
“My journey started involuntarily 23 years ago, when at the age of 16, I suddenly lost my mother in a car accident. That day, my life changed and all of a sudden, I had to become an adult. I had to learn to deal with my pain and on top of that I had to go to school, look after my dad and my younger brother, doing the cooking, washing, cleaning etc…
With the support of friends and family, I carried on living a vaguely normal life and when I was 20 years old, I decided to move to the UK, but the pain of the grief was always with me, it never left… the tears were always ready to come out at the drop of a hat, as soon as someone mentioned their mother or my mother…Things changed 3 years ago when I started doing some very deep emotional work on myself (I was studying to become a coach) and I came across this technique called EFT Tapping. I got offered an EFT session and I took it. I had not expectations, no real background knowledge, nothing at all. That session changed my life…The Practitioner worked with me on the trauma of suddenly loosing my mother in a car accident. I cried so much… but after that session, I was able to see things more clearly… the pain of the grief was gone and I was left with all the love I had (and still have) for her.
I was absolutely shocked by the profound changes in me and I decided to study this technique so that I could pass on that gift of healing to others too…that is exactly what I did. I studied EFT for 3 years and I got myself 2 qualifications (my second one was with the EFT International), which to this day make me a Fully Accredited and Certified EFT Practitioner.
Since discovering EFT I have used it pretty much every day, on myself and on my family (my husband and my 2 sons) and we all enjoy the benefits of it. EFT has become our “Secret Power” that helps us rebalance our emotions and our stress levels when life throws us a curveball… and this is valid for us grown ups (mum and dad) and for the little ones (our 5 and 9 year old children) as well!
I wrote, "The Magic within You” so that every family in the world can learn this amazing technique (EFT Tapping) and so that the younger generations can be give the tools to start taking ownership of their feelings and emotions, making them more relaxed children and more resilient and empowered adults”
Alessandra, thank you so much for sharing your journey and for helping others learn the power of EFT. I hope this story and this method helps you and your family unlock the secret power within you! Let us know if you try this technique and how you feel afterwards. The publication of this podcast episode comes in line with Parent Mental Health Day (January 27th).

Ten things you didn’t know about Petr Horáček:
1. I love children's drawings.
2. I love looking at the sky.
3. I love walking in woods and picking mushrooms.
4. I love snow and I know how to ski.
5. I love cakes (any cakes!) and vanilla ice cream (or any other ice cream!).
6. I love playing tennis.
7. I love watching people walking their dogs.
8. I love music – from the very old to the very loud and rattley.
9. I love listening to the radio.
10. I can't spell. (It's rather embarrassing.)

The Bubble King - N.G. Kraiem
2021/10/05
Story number 23 is here!Collaborating once again with the talented and inspiring Nicole Kraiem who brings us her second story, “The Bubble King” @ngkraiem Written by N.G. Kraiem and Illustrated by Georgiana Grigoras Edited by Joseph Kraiem Nicole Kraiem:‘The character illustration is based on my youngest son, who's nickname is Bear. I had written this story when I was pregnant with him six years ago. My husband, who is in the military, had been humming a tune he heard earlier, which sparked the rhythm of the book, while my daughter was playing with bubbles. Since I was currently pregnant with a boy, I decided to make the character a boy also. The original name of the character was Jasper but after creating the character of “I Dream” off of my daughter's likeness, my son asked if I could make a character that looks like him too, sparking the changes with the name and likeness you see today in the book. What I've learned from spending time with children, especially my own is that representation truly matters. Every child wants to see someone like them featured in books. In respect to what I am currently working on now, I am at the end process of solidifying the illustrations for my first book series, “The Adventures of Gillie The Incredible.” It follows a rambunctious little boy who always gets into mischief as he tries to learn and navigate what it means to be a little human in the world and yes, almost everything the character does has been based off of something one of my four have done at that age, including making a "master cheese sandwich," which the character does. There is a moral, or rather a learning point in every Gillie book, which I hope will teach children, in the same way that social play does. Along with the Gillie series, I am in the process of starting the storyboard for my children's story, “Selma's Song” which follows a young girl, as she tries to go through the grieving process, after losing her grandmother. Lastly, I am two-thirds through writing my first adult novel, which follows a couple as they navigate life and mental health issues as an interracial couple and military family”Sounds wonderful Nicole! We can’t wait for your future publications and we hope you enjoy this beautiful story with the boy with the curly auburn hair ☺️#representationtrulymattersTo buy the book:https://www.amazon.com/Bubble-King-N-G-Kraiem/dp/1639015876/ref=sr_1_2?crid=11NOKMXUSOFSC&dchild=1&keywords=the+bubble+king+n.g+kraiem&qid=1630506743&sprefix=the+bubble+king%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-2&fbclid=IwAR2dO3Y41uta5yVC3Uo-SokHl0snRyqWWmKIiS24bJJwLSiOPGW3c2BFR3sThank you once again Nicole!❤️🖤🤎❤️🖤🤎Like/subscribe/review ☺️Instagram page:https://instagram.com/grabsomesticks?igshid=gcvsbmv1h4dy Facebook: @grabsomesticks For messages, drawings and videos,Send to: [email protected] Thank you 🙂

The Adventures Of Henry The Field Mouse (Breakfast With Bertie The Hedgehog) - Jo Coker
2021/08/02
Story number 20 is here!
(We have reached 20 stories!😱)
Our next story tells the tale of an inquisitive field mouse called Henry who has a prickly encounter with Bertie the hedgehog, who is snoring in a compost heap! This story is part of a series written by a grandma wanting to keep in touch with her grandchildren before the days of email and video chat. (You can see the letters she wrote them when you swipe left ⬅️☺️)
It’s called: “The Adventures of Henry the Field Mouse” written by Jo Coker.
Illustrated by Barbara Richards.
Edited and published by Sue Dockstader.
Jo Coker:
“When my grandchildren moved to Hong Kong, I wanted them to stay interested in the English countryside, so I started writing stories for them about an imaginary mouse living under my garden shed! Little did I know my daughter would keep my flimsy airmail pages and publish them into a beautifully illustrated book 20 years later- so now little adventurers everywhere can read about the antics of Henry the Field Mouse!
Henry meets lots of different animals on his escapades, so I hope that my simple tales of adventure in an English back garden will encourage little ones to pull on their wellies and go outside to explore the countryside.
My original stories stretched to two books once the pictures were added, then after being persuaded a trilogy would be nice, I wrote another set of stories at age 85. Working with my daughter (who now lives in the US) to get the third book published was a wonderful way to keep busy and connected during this past awful year of lockdown and isolation.”
