The Stories


Each of these stories has been tried and tested on an audience of a single four-year-old. Some are fun and light, some a bit more meaningful, and some are just plain silly. And if you don’t like the stories (but hopefully you do!), you might just love the artwork. Each story has a unique style and character that makes the reading all the more enjoyable and worthwhile.

No matter how good the story or illustrations, every book needs an editor.

This project is really unique, combining the work of (very!) different artists from all over the world in one storybook. The stories are also fit for everyone, from babies who can enjoy the writing in rhyme, to bigger children and grown-ups who love art and lessons about life and friendship. I highly recommend Five Stories Small as a unique gift to anyone!
