There is a specific magic to the holiday season, often found not under the tree, but circling its base. Author’s Tranquility Press is delighted to present The Boy Who Loves Toy Trains, a heartwarming new story by Ivan S. Stone that transports readers back to the moment imagination meets the gleaming rails of a first train set.
The story follows young Shane, a boy whose mind hums with the endless possibilities of switches, cross tracks, and locomotives. A pre-Christmas trip to a bustling department store introduces him to a mesmerizing world where whistles blow, smoke puffs, and a majestic red and silver Santa Fe Super Chief thunders past. But the true magic begins at home, when Shane’s father brings down a dusty box from the attic, unveiling his own childhood train set, a treasure waiting to be rediscovered.
The Boy Who Loves Toy Trains is more than a simple children’s tale. It is a vivid tapestry woven with the scents of fresh pine and hot chocolate, the sounds of a transformer’s hum and a locomotive’s triumphant whistle, and the warm glow of family gathering to create something together. It beautifully captures the intergenerational bridge a simple toy can build, as a father shares a cherished piece of his own past, sparking a new passion in his son.
Illustrated with warmth by A. Weston, the book visually brings to life the wonder in a child’s eyes as coal cars dump their loads, cabooses bring up the rear, and the dream of a permanent basement layout takes shape. It is a celebration of curiosity, family tradition, and the timeless appeal of miniature worlds.
This book is a perfect read for the holiday season, a nostalgic gift for model train enthusiasts, and a timeless bedtime story for any child fascinated by how things work. It reminds us that the greatest gifts are often those that come with a story, a bit of history, and the power to connect.
The Boy Who Loves Toy Trains is available now for purchase on Amazon in hardback, paperback, and eBook formats.
