Stories with Osh

Osh is my 7-year-old son. I have been telling him stories since he was born. Sometimes reading to him and at other times making up stories. Recently, he started hounding me to write down these made-up stories and publish my first book in the next five years! This blog is the start of that journey. We’ll see if I make it to the five-year milestone or if I get to publish before then.

During lockdown (Covid-19 related), it’s been me, him and his 2-year-old sister, and we have had lots of fun making stuff like the guitar below, lots of cardboard arts and crafts, which we have enjoyed. As expected, we also had lots of arguments over brushing his teeth, bath time, screen time, homeschooling and so on.

A quick update – although Osh did some illustrations for the stories, I have had some more done, and these will replace the previous ones. Osh’s illustrations were great, and I am super proud of him.

I hope you enjoy our stories as much as we have.

Another quick update. I have now published the first collection of short stories. Visit the shop page to find out more.
