Magic of Story Press

Magic of Story Press My father told me bedtime stories every night. He called them ‘five-minute tales' even though they lasted longer. I remember wanting them to never end, literally fearing the words, ‘the end'. An engineer by profession, he was born with an incredible imagination, untouched by daily responsibilities and the political climate in his country. I often thought that he could have been a writer, but being an immigrant with children to support, my Dad focused on working two jobs. His days began at 4:00 am. He worked on Saturdays. And though always exhausted, he never missed our magical storytime. My Dad told me tales of heroes and villains. He transported me to distant lands and took me on journeys every child could only dream of. When I was a teen, after ‘five-minute tales' stopped, I realized that a single story could give hope, provide an escape, inspire creativity, foster empathy, entertain, and most importantly, bring people closer together. And so, decades later, Magic of Story Press was born. We, the founders of Magic of Story, are embarking on an adventure. It is our hope to bring books that celebrate the human spirit, while inspiring courage, and building empathy. It is our dream to use stories, as a way to unite children across the globe, focusing on universal themes. I believe that when one truly pursues what one wants, on that path, the individual discovers what one needs to grow as a person. In order to use the power of stories to help humanity, as well as our planet, part of the proceeds will be allocated to support humanitarian causes. This way, every book, every tale, can make a difference in healing the world around us. Magic of Story Press will have its first product, an inspirational story for early readers, in electronic format, as well as on iTunes, and Android Platforms by early 2020.
