Anklebiter Books. Unforgettable Stories Powered by Metaphors that Change Young Lives.

In antiquity, around primeval fires, we discovered the teaching power of metaphors wrapped in the timeless magic of story.

The Good Samaritan. The Ugly Duckling. The Boy Who Cried Wolf. The Hare and the Tortoise. Stories are still our most powerful teaching tools. But we scurry to the beat of TikTok time, hurry though precious stories, and rush to put out the light, never pausing to pay respect to time-tested wisdom and important deeper meanings. And we are much poorer for it. In this dark age of cyber bullying and doomscrolling, storied life lessons and morals enhanced by metaphors are more important than ever.
