Hi Internet people!
Episode two is up. It's kind of a true story but I took some liberties with it. You'll know it when you hear it. Rocky is cat I used to have as a pet when I was young. so the humans in the story are my parents.
Remember there's a coloring book that goes along with the story. You can find it here. Rocky and the Bat coloring book
I hope you enjoy it.

Hi.
This is a short episode to say "Hi" and for you to get to know me. Stories are coming. Promise!

Once Upon a Time....
There was a small village nestled between three mountains. It was called "Gust's Rise." In the middle of the village was a bakery. On the roof of the bakery slept a white cat. He loved how the sun hit his fur as he slept. Until one day the sky grew dark.......
There was a yellow chicken with an orange beak and white tail feathers and wings. She loved the farm. She loved the other chickens and other animals. The farmers where so nice to her. But she had one problem.....
There was a white cat named Rocky with black spots. She slept at the foot of the bed while her humans were watching the television. She heard a strange noise and when she looked up, she saw the humans run out the door. She looked up and couldn't believe her eyes.......
There was a woman who loved to tell children's stories. Her name is Auntie Fran. That's me. I hope you join me in the new stories for you and your children.
Enjoy.
