Lory Dory

Lory Dory is a free children's bedtime story about a girl born invisible, visible only in rain or beneath blankets. Told by a grandfather at tuck-in time, the tale follows Lory as she endures teasing and exclusion — until a boy's simple question sparks something brave. Rather than hiding, Lory begins painting herself each day with everything she loves, turning her invisible body into a canvas of her true self. The story quietly asks what it means to be seen, and whether we ever really are.

The Cow On The Dike

"The Cow On The Dike" is a short story about a contented cow who lives on a peaceful dike, happily grazing — until the bright spring flowers along the muddy creek bank prove too tempting to resist. What follows is a very undignified splash into the creek, with the cow stuck in the mud, legs in all directions, eyeing the plants she still cannot reach. A passing farmer and his flat-bottomed boat change everything, turning one clumsy mishap into a blossoming springtime friendship.
