About

Parker's & Mason's Stories

Melanie always dreamed of writing a book, and one night her oldest son, Parker, asked her to make up a bedtime story, so together they did. Each night, the two of them added fun details and thus created this perfect story.

When Mason heard Parker's story, he wanted one of his own. Melanie and Mason soon started telling the story of Giant Town, which picks up where Candy Town left off.
