This collection of bedtime stories was written for my children and about my children. Bedtime is always a special time in our house as we read together, and the more humorous, magical and exciting the story, the better. I was inspired to write about things that were specific to my children as they were my inspiration, my co-writers and my most honest critics too! I hope that this short collection of bedtime stories will now bring smiles and happiness to many other children.Faith and the Tooth FairyHave you ever wondered what happens to a tooth once it has fallen out and is placed under your pillow?
