About Porgy's Place

Welcome to Porgy's Stories, where imagination, compassion, and the power of storytelling come together to create a world of wonder and empowerment.

Our Journey

Over three decades ago, as I embarked on the adventure of early motherhood, I sought a creative and enduring way to help my children navigate the complexities of their everyday lives. That's when Porgy was born, a character who would become the centerpiece of bedtime stories.  Porgy helped my children navigate life's daily challenges and emotions.

Today, those cherished stories find new life in the eager ears of my grandson, continuing a legacy of storytelling.

As an Occupational Therapist, I have always blended my personal experiences with the professional skills I've developed over the years. When my children expressed their desire for me to document these heartwarming stories, I realized it was an opportunity to leave a lasting presence for them, even when I'm no longer here.

But our journey took an unexpected turn when I discovered Dyslexie, the award-winning font specifically designed to aid individuals with dyslexia. This revelation transformed our project from a family treasure to a profound gift for children struggling with dyslexia, empowering them to experience the sheer joy of reading.

Our Mission

At Porgy's Stories, our mission is simple yet profound: to kindle the love of reading in children, regardless of their challenges, and to provide a bridge to a world of stories and imagination. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to explore the magical realms of books, and our commitment is to make that dream a reality.

We invite you to enjoy your time exploring our collection, share the wonder with your friends, and join us in our mission to empower every child to read. Together, we can make a difference, one story at a time.

Thank you for visiting, and please come back often to be a part of our ongoing journey.
