I am a children’s author who recently immigrated to Canada, coming from a background deeply rooted in Eastern storytelling. In many Eastern cultures, storytelling traditions lean heavily on oral narration and mythic structure, bringing the style closer to folktales than to Western short stories or novels. Eastern writers, especially those creating for children, often focus on tales with symbolic or legendary qualities rather than conventional narratives.
