Pa’s Story Books had humble beginnings when Jim Pearce was reading bedtime stories to his grandson.
It didn’t take long before the traditional story of 3 little pigs and the like began to wear thin, particularly when it was realised that the child knew the story by heart, complete with actions to suit.
It followed that one day when Jim was sorting out photographs of children at the beach he wrote his first children’s book and illustrated it with some of the photo’s.
This was followed by another story about a little boy who meets a magic fish that takes him on a tour of the underwater kingdom.
A family friend read the story and asked for a copy, then one of her friends wanted a copy, suddenly Jim was producing story books.
From that humble beginning Jim has now produced 10 illustrated children’s story books published by Createspace.
Please browse our catalogue for sample pages from the books.
