Sound Stories is perfect for parents and grandparents to introduce the sounds to early childhood aged children and as a teacher's resource in schools and early childhood centres.

'I designed each Sound Story so that delightful, engaging illustrations will entice children to observe, imagine, predict, draw conclusions and create a possible storyline as part of an open discussion with others present, before the story is read to them.'
