3–8 yearsMy Grandad’s Magical Secret
Once upon a time, there was a little boy called Reggie. It was a rainy day, and Reggie was very bored. He decided to get his binoculars and take a look out of his bedroom window. He looked up at the trees and saw birds hiding from the rain. He saw huge raindrops falling from the leaves, and big gusts of wind blew the tree from side to side. As he looked down through his binoculars, he stopped. He couldn't quite believe what he was seeing! He was sure he saw a mouse wearing wellington boots and an umbrella hat! He looked closer, but the mouse ran so fast that he wasn't sure. Then he saw the mouse run into a tiny hole in the tree! He was sure he saw a door on the mouse hole, and he was certain he saw lights shining from inside!
As soon as the rain stopped, Reggie ran as fast as he could down the stairs. He couldn't wait to get outside to get a closer look at what he thought he saw!

I believe stories should be shared with every child. If buying a book isn’t possible right now, please take these instead — free to print at home, always.
About me
Hello, I’m Jamie-Lee
I’m a mum living in Malta, originally from Worthing in England, writing bedtime stories for my little boy Reggie. The Yellow Wellies Collection began as stories whispered at bedtime — a boy, his grandad, a tiny door and a garden full of mice.
Every story is about kindness, because that is what I most want to pass on.
