Sophie and Sebastian
Welcome to the wonderful world of Sophie and Sebastian. These whimsical and delightful stories are sure to delight the whole family. Written in the nonsensical style of A. A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh, every adventure provides clean, family-friendly enjoyment without being preachy or overly moralistic. In each story, Sophie and Sebastian learn something new about our wonderful world. They also make some wonderful and unusual friends, including the old neighbours (Bert and Fran, Mrs. Wilson). In fact, one of the best parts of this podcast is the humorous and meaningful relationships that develop over time. Above all, the "Sophie and Sebastian" stories are a nostalgic and witty celebration of childhood.

This is a story I've been meaning to write for a while. Many of the Sophie and Sebastian stories are about relationships and community. So I wanted the kids to do a kind deed. The challenge was to avoid being overly preachy and boring. You'll have to decide if the story succeeds in that.
Writing "A Gift With Words" was challenging because it made me reflect on my own shortcomings. Living far away from parents is not always easy. This story is a reflection on what most of us can do better.
Note: a couple of times an airplane flew over as I recorded this. So you might hear a bit of background noise.
