man who saved the king

The Papa and Billy children's books are told by a Scottish grandfather to his young grandson, Billy, in response to a situation the boy is going through.

Each story weaves ethical and moral lessons through the adventures Papa shares with Billy. These captivating narratives are rooted in real historical events, offering a unique blend of education and entertainment that brings history to life.

Through the warm, empathetic characters of the stories, children are not only transported to fascinating moments in the past but also instilled with timeless values of family and heritage. Each story is a beacon of hope, showing young readers that challenges can be overcome with courage and compassion.

With a lifelong career in early childhood education, I am deeply committed to nurturing a child's sense of identity and fostering an appreciation for cultural diversity. My Papa and Billy series is more than just a collection of stories; it is a tool for helping children understand their roots and respect the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our world, while facing a personal dilemma.
