Tanner Tells T.A.L.E.S.
(Truth. Accountability. Love. Emotion. Support.)

Tanner Tells T.A.L.E.S.  is a series of books written by a mother, that’s me, and a son, that’s Tanner Willms. Through the eyes of a mother, Tanner’s tales are told. Tanner, who is now an adult and a father himself, shares his reflection as he looks back on these tales of himself as a growing boy. The Tanner Tells Tales series are lessons of Truth, Accountability, Love, Emotion, and Support (TALES). Each illustrated book is accompanied by coloring pages, a maze, and a word search.

The Tanner Tells T.A.L.E.S. series shares several stories of a little boy’s internal and external trials and tribulations. At times he chose to fib when he wanted his own way, he took things that weren’t his, and he was even bullied. Through each of Tanner’s adventures, there is a lesson to be learned.

Each book ends with Mom’s Take and Tanner’s Take. Our adult view looking back at his shenanigans as a little boy. Why might he have done what he did? How has his childhood influenced his adult life? Could it have been prevented by making different choices? What we he do differently if he could go back?

As a mentor, parent, or grandparent, reading these books to a youngster, you will process different ways to communicate, how to solicit truths, express the importance of accountability, and offer a safe and supportive platform for a child to share his or her emotions as they grow through their years. These stories are ultimately about love. And the world always has space for more love.

The Boy With The Broken Nose

Tanner wants to play outside. And he wants to play in one of his favorite places. The humungous pine tree in the backyard. The one that drops pinecones as big as your hand. The one with the old boards nailed into the limbs waaaay up high was built by the family who lived there before. The one he is NOT supposed to climb. What happens to Tanner when he doesn’t listen to his mom and decides to do just what she tells him NOT to do? And what happens if Tanner is not honest about what he did?
