"Tilde the House Tomte" from the Stories about Sibling Rivalry collection

This week's free story comes from the Stories about Sibling Rivalry collection. It's called "Tilde the House Tomte."   Tilde the House Tomte loves a challenge. When a mother with two children marries a father with two children — right under her own roof — she gets her challenge. Not only do the siblings bicker, but now the step-siblings have arguments as well. When the mother must be away for an entire week, Tilde helps the children see each other anew: with love and empathy.   Come join us as a Sparkle subscriber!
