"I grew up in the land of BIG ART and LONG TALL TALES and have spent hours upon hours listening to my father’s 'shaggy dog stories,' as he so affectionately calls them.

Inspired by my father’s love of storytelling and my own passion for art and education, I've brought together an international group of talented artists and writers, and created PHOOPHIE TALES.

A place for children to read, write, paint, explore, and most importantly, play. Dedicated to my shaggy little dog, Phoophie!" - KAREN KAYE CECILIA BAUDER
