Stories can do
something
remarkable.
They stay.
Not just on the shelf,
but in the quiet places
where children become themselves,
and adults remember how to wonder.

Why stories matter
I’m Mari Telios, author of The Little Seed’s Long Wait, a children’s picture book that gently explores patience, hope, friendship, and the quiet magic of trusting.
I write stories meant to be felt as much as read. Stories that nurture curiosity, encourage imagination, and help children discover what is already unfolding within them.
This is where those stories begin.
