Richard Crume is an engineer and author with nearly 100 professional publications and workshops covering a wide variety of topics in the fields of public health, the environment, and climate change. His Whizpig stories are inspired by the tales his father used to tell at bedtime, a cherished memory of growing up back in the 1950s. According to Richard, "My father knew that bedtime can be challenging for young, spirited children and their parents, but his stories gave us something to look forward to, to fall asleep to." In many ways, life was simpler back then-there were no video games and no social media-and there were more opportunities for parents and children to spend time together reading books and telling stories. Richard hopes these tales about the lovable Whizpigs will bring joy and comfort to the hearts of children while, perhaps, helping revive the art of storytelling. See less
