Heart of a Child
Whether you want to take a trip through time, go on an adventure in your back yard, or feel a burst of excitement only to return to an adult reality, each story has something for every reader who wants to feel like a child or be part of a life many children have led before.
Take a trip down memory lane or pull your child into your lap and see the world through their eyes. In this second anthology written by members of Authors’ Tale, both light and heavy themes bring out the child in almost every genre.
This year's anthology features many stories about young hearts and some written for young-at-hearts. These tales will make any reader feel nostalgic or even open their eyes to something they never considered—something that will challenge their view of what childhood can really be like.

Many fun short stories in different genres. My favorite was 'When Pigs Fly' by M.W. King.

So many great short stories!!
Last Dance had me teary as I used to dance and adore my Dad.
All Cookies Crumble was very touching. Reminded me of the importance of community/neighbours and I love youth and elders coming together. What greatness can be experienced when we face our fears.
I found the collaborative story Fooling April fascinating - the idea of collaborative writing.
Summer Song was over too fast!! I wanted more! So moving.
Great characters in The Editor!! I really enjoyed Priya and Leonard.
I loved having the prompts and reading what came from these.
Don’t underestimate the power of a short story. It’s wonderful when characters and images can grab at your heart so quickly.
