“In the Vales” series of children story time books, videos & app
Grandmother Christine is a Grandmother in waiting for her own Grandchildren, but until then she shares her wee stories with you.
The Vales is a magical place that resides between the lush hillsides and the ocean, with real history, people and locations melded into each book. Each story is written for a tall person to share with a wee person, so both may receive the magic that is woven through the pages of each story they share together.
The Vales is Christine’s back yard and what a splendid place it is to create in.
The stories are written for 6 to 12 year old children.
