Watch the video and see why our products and website won the Mom’s Choice Gold Award for excellence. The issues that plague kids today are the same ones that our characters deal with – in real time. Our fictional world mirrors your real world. Shady Pines Story Town is dedicated to Decency. Our Human and Animal Characters show kids It's Cool to Be Kind!
We want children to grow up to be good, honest and decent. But we have a culture increasingly rewarding bullying and bad behavior. That's why we've launched the Kindness and Caring Lives Here campaign. All of our stories, including those on The Shady Pines Way Blog, are dedicated to this theme:  CLICK HERE A happy family hugging their pets

We Provide a Lifeline

Shady Pines Story Town is a fun place for young kids and the adults who love them to get away from the noise. Our stories are embeded with basic life lessons like honesty, sportsmanship, respecting property, and so on.  In our small Southern town children are inspired to make good choices.
Restoring Civility

Our story-telling neighbors act as role models

The human and animals characters of all ages and backgrounds who live in Shady Pines use gentle humor to deal with the many challenges facing young kids these days. Our neighbors in this tight knit community demonstrate problem solving by working together with conversation, not confrontation.

Come on in and stay a spell. We think you'll be glad you did!
