My Daughter Wants to Be a Chef!

Sky stories grew from her desire to talk to an imaginary child about as many values and aspects of life as possible in a book. Sky Stories is a collection of six stories, which although having no obvious connection do together make up a whole. The trees received the stories from sky and at night told them to the birds.
