A few years ago I wrote a short children’s story “Christopher’s Christmas“. I put a PDF online at the time, but just put the whole thing online as HTML to read in the browser.
This was partly written because it is too easy to forget how difficult things are for little children, and also as a personal catharsis remembering myself, as a slightly older child, on my first Christmas after my own dad died.
… and no, I didn’t get a 5 year old to draw the pictures … just that I draw like a 5 year old :-/
