    Have you ever known a fish to live anywhere except in the water? In this clever and fun folk tale, we tell the tale of how a little fish came to help her family of fish discover a new home - from the land to the sea. We've crafted this audio story to include some sound effects, music, and have shaped it as a story that can be used to help with sleep-time, activity focus, or the simple joy of listening to a well told tale. Age range from 5 - 9, and we hope some of us big kids who appreciate the art of storytelling might enjoy it too. We at LMG Creative are storytellers who enjoy crafting tales that light imagination and inspire. Adapted from an Australian folk tale by Nora Lang for the Lilac Fairy Book, originally attributed to Andrew Lang (but we’re acknowledging it was his wife Nora who did the actual writing.) Further adapted and narrated by Rose Hastreiter, with acknowledgement to the first peoples of Australia, where from our research, elements of this tale actually originated.

    For fans of the Royal Diaries series and of Gail Carson Levine, here is the second adventure in a middle grade time travel series from Newbery Honor-winning Kathryn Lasky! 
    In book 2, newly orphaned Rose finds herself time-traveling between present day and the court of the two most memorable English princesses in history. 
    When Princess Mary ascends the throne in sixteenth-century England, Rose is forced to leave Princess Elizabeth and serve Mary. Mary’s coronation is coming, and Rose will be put to work making elaborate gowns. But the religiously devout queen’s next plan is to begin her attack on Protestants—burning them at the stake! 
    Rose’s dad, master spy and goldsmith for the court, urges Rose to escape to her home century, present day Indiana, where Rose befriends a young immigrant named Marisol. Rose must protect Marisol from both middle school mean girls and the threat of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.  
    Relishing her newfound family, Rose is determined to rescue her father and best friend Franny from the dangers of Queen Mary's reign. Is she willing to risk everything to save the people closest to her?

    “Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” 
    Winnie-the-Pooh is a loveable bear with a forest full of friends: Piglet, Kanga & Roo, Tigger, Eeyore, and many more. This well-known cast of characters was inspired by the toys belonging to author A.A. Milne’s son Christopher Robin, himself a character in Milne’s writing. 
    Throughout this collection, each of the characters faces their own set of adventures. Join Pooh as he goes in search of Eeyore’s lost tail, which looks suspiciously like Owl’s new bell-rope. Cheer on little Piglet as he ventures into the woods to trap an elephant-like Heffalump. Take a snack break with Winnie-the-Pooh, who is always in search of honey to satisfy the “rumbly” in his tummy. 
    The stories in this collection don’t follow a set sequence. It can be enjoyed from start to finish, or listeners can choose to bounce around from one story to another. No matter where your listening leads you, Winnie-the-Pooh is certain to find a place in your heart. The simple but profound wisdom in these stories is familiar to children and serves as a gentle reminder to adults to appreciate the small things in life.
