About the Series:
All written and told by yours truly (Tina Konstant), Waffle-Free stories are a mix of modern fables, folk-style folktales, origin stories, and modern myths. Each one is inspired by what’s happening in the world, my week, ideas, or curious observations. They’re wonderful to sit quietly and read and doubly wonderful to enjoy around a fireside or at bedtime.
Although the podcast and, therefore, the books weren’t originally intended for young kids (I don’t shy away from the afterlife, for instance), I’ve had parents of young children tell me their kids love them. So… share with the whole family, but adult discretion is advised in some cases.
The stories, in true fairy tale style, explore what it is to be human, to handle the problems of life, to be victorious, to face challenges, and to be a whole person on planet Earth. They range from origin stories that start at the dawn of time to relationship and coming-of-age tales.
Welcome to the place where coffee breaks become mini-adventures, headphones become front-row seats, and life unravels, one tale at a time.
I’ll see you inside,
Tina
