Imagine a family restaurant. Friends gather around tables. A woman walks in the door. A child runs up, "Crystal, tell me a story." "After dinner," is the oft reply. She hands out story tickets to each child if the timing works out. They get to decide who is in their story (princess, unicorn, dragon, robot, and so on) and what those characters are named. The ticket fills with the images of their story. This book has been carefully packed with some of those stories told after dinner.
