Sandals Or A Suit: Lore For LittleFolk

I’m Reid Genauer, singer, songwriter, storyteller. What follows is a collection of children's stories called "Sandals or A Suit" —a collection of whimsical poems that sprung from my adventures as curious kid and later as a dad to three spirited children of my own.

As a musician in folk rock outfits Strangefolk and Assembly of Dust I’ve spent years cultivating, crafting on occasion cracking the code on a catalogue of songs for some 3 decades. And in the delightful chaos of fatherhood I've found a treasure trove of inspiration of another sort. These poems are not unlike songs, they're lighthearted lore for little folk. Little time capsules of the wonder born of waddling through the mischief of childhood—echoes of the eternal debate of sandals versus a suit to the wincing thrill of yanking a tooth with a length of string tied to a door (true story).

Each piece is a snapshot of laughter, the expression of imaginings and a chance to balloon into a world where every corner is an adventure waiting like a bullfrog bouncing into boggy soggy great beyond. These are but a few chapters in an endless escapade of stories I made up as bedtime ramblings for my kids. They are a landscape of sorts where whimsy reigns and the spirit of childhood dances afoot for people of all ages, happily ever after.
