The author of the book “Gee Bee, Tell Me a Story,” Becky Dennis, was interviewed by Benji Cole of CBS Radio. They talked about the in-depth nature of the book’s theme and inspiration during the interview. He revealed not only the inspiration behind the book, but also the deep personal journey that shaped his transformative message
In “Gee Bee, Tell Me a Story,” Becky Dennis channels the boundless imaginations of children into short, whimsical narratives. Each chapter starts with a “prompt” — a set of characters the grandchildren come up with — and Becky turns them into fully formed stories. For example, in the story “Turtle’s Adventure,” the characters include a turtle, a rabbit, a mermaid, a dragon, a bird, and a little girl. That’s just one example of how playfully eclectic the stories are. Rather than following a single plotline, each story stands alone, making it ideal for reading one at a time, or as bedtime stories.
Becky Dennis is not only an author — she’s a grandmother whose real-life experiences with her grandchildren served as the spark for this book. Together, they came up with wild, creative characters and settings, and Becky turned them into the eleven short stories in this collection.
Her life is full of rich stories: she and her husband grew up in West Texas, lived in a small jungle village in Sumatra, and even in Dubai. These diverse experiences may have influenced her ability to craft imaginative, varied tales.
Becky also encourages adults (especially parents and grandparents) to send her their children’s story prompts — she’s willing to write them a dedicated story in future books. This creates a personal, interactive feeling: the book isn’t just for kids to read, but for families to contribute to and grow with.
Gee Bee, Tell Me a Story isn’t just a children’s book — it’s a testament to the power of imagination, especially as seen through the eyes of kids. Becky Dennis doesn’t just tell stories; she listens to the sparks of creativity her grandchildren offer, then weaves them into playful, heartfelt narratives. For families who want fun, light, and deeply personal stories, this book is a gem.
If you’re looking for something that encourages imaginative play, celebrates creativity, and is just plain fun to read, this is a book worth adding to your shelf (or your kid’s bedtime rotation).
