The Yawn That Grew by Giselle Antmann

Giselle wrote these stories for children when she was in her 20s. The illustrations were completed in 2012.

Children will love these seven unusual stories as they laugh, feel, imagine, think and learn.

The unlikely heroes are two boys, a lonely boot, a giant golden fish, a flower, a burning piece of coal and a porcelain plate that escapes a dusty life in a china cabinet. What could possibly happen to them?

There are scary moments, journeys to strange lands, mishaps and a wise apple that speaks. What does an alchemist, a sorcerer or a baked potato have to do with any of it? Who cares about the frog’s opinion?

All seven heroes overcome an unpredictable challenge that leads to self-acceptance, transformation or freedom. The vivid fable like events and the touches of absurd humour are also meaningful and enjoyable for adults who read these stories to boys and girls aged five and beyond.

100% of proceeds from this book is given to charities helping orphans and children at risk.

The Yawn That Grew is also available as an ebook in all e formats.
