Once Upon a Storytime at Christmas - Christmas Craving Audrey Lee

Publisher Marketing: Jimmie, not only has a problem with his Dad (not unusual with any teen), he has a Christmas craving with his Dad's old skateboard that hangs on the wall. Parenting is a difficult occupation no matter how you look at it. With a bright and creative child, sometimes parents will have even more relationship problems. What is creative thinking? Well, for one, with a creative thinker like Jimmie in our story, when a parent says, "Thou shalt NOT," a resourceful child will think, "When and how can I do it?" How to Parent a Child was not a book that Jimmie's Father even thought of using for reading material in the "you know where." And what is child abuse? Does it begin and end with physical abuse? Not hardly. However, instead of sulking and becoming miserable, Jimmie handled his potential depression with an extremely inventive idea. Not only that, he solved his relationship problem with his Dad. Also, he was able to do this in a manner in which, no one would be able to lay blame under HIS skateboard! Jimmie's Dad really should have taken a lesson in child development and parenting from his son. Don't miss out on reading "Christmas Craving" to find out Jimmie's ingenious solution to his battle with Dad about the skateboard! Contributor Bio:  Lee, Audrey Since 2001, Audrey Lee has been writing and sending Christmas in lieu of sending Christmas letters or cards. It has become her tradition to celebrate the season of giving with an original short story for her loved ones. Each one is an allegory that represents a concept she has learned or problem she has struggled with during the year. The catalyst came when Audrey began telling oral stories. Soon, she realized that storytelling was a big part of her past with bedtime stories of Dumbo told by Uncle Doc and Grandpap stories told by Dad. As a parent, she told improvised stories to her boys with their teddy bears, not even remembering that her Uncle used to do for her as well. Oddly enough, it was this new found passion of storytelling "finding her" that encouraged her to actually begin publishing the stories that she had written over the years. "Once Upon a Storytime at Christmas" is the compilation of Christmas stories that she traditionally writes each year during the Holidays, so look for more stories to come. The books, video and audio recordings of these stories are available on her website and Amazon.com. Events with these stories and more can be scheduled by contacting Audrey at: www.profundities.net www.onceuponastorytime.net www.facebook.com/audreyleestoryteller
