Stories in the Car: Entertaining Life Lessons for Kids

The Love We Carry With Us

Mama and Daddy take the kids on a quiet car ride down memory lane, remembering the water balloon fight that soaked the whole neighborhood, pizza nights, the day Patrick declared the kids were in charge, and goodbyes at Daddy's school. A tender story about a foster family's season together and the bittersweet feeling of missing someone you loved. "Bitter, like something a little bit sad. Sweet, like something happy. Both at the same time." We'd love to hear from YOU! If you have an idea for a Stories in the Car adventure, send it to ⁠storiesinthecar@gmail.com [storiesinthecar@gmail.com]⁠.

James and the Case of the Missing Gloves

It's freezing cold and James can't find his gloves—because he forgot to put them in his coat yesterday. Rose has HER gloves, and James feels mad at himself, mad at her, and mad at the world. But instead of kicking and screaming, James listens to his inner wise voice, gets in the car, buckles up, and talks to Mama about how he feels. "If you kick and scream, will that find your gloves? ...No." We'd love to hear from YOU!

The Night the Feelings Came to Dinner

And everything matters. Even us." We'd love to hear from YOU! If you have an idea for a Stories in the Car adventure, send it to ⁠storiesinthecar@gmail.com [storiesinthecar@gmail.com]⁠.

The Great Penguin Pile-Up

What happens when a family of penguins tries to get into a car... all at the same time? Squishing, smooshing, and someone sitting on Grandma's head!
