👨👩👧👦 Parents and Teachers: This page has a bunch of locked links that only you have the keys to. If you want access to anything below the free content then create a free account. It is intend for you to filter which pages your Children / Students can visit.
If you’ve found this page, so can your friends—and everyone in your family. Parents, this is a perfect example of why it’s important to know what your children are viewing online. Whether you arrived here on purpose or by accident, you’re here now—and so are we.
At TallenFamilyStories.com, children’s safety is our number one priority. We are building a positive, creative community where kids and families can safely share ideas, stories, and artwork.
To help protect your family’s identity:
✅ Only use first names, nicknames, or creative aliases (like “Bookkey12” or “Mr. Talon from Kamloops”)
✅ Never share full names, addresses, or school names
✅ Location is optional—but if shared, it must be limited to town, province/state, and country (e.g., Jim, 10, from Canada or Ava, age 10, Alberta, Canada)
✅ Always ask a parent or trusted adult before uploading files or sending messages
✅ Parents: Please preview all submissions before sending them in
TallenFamilyStories.com began as a single children’s book—Huff and Puff. But when children asked for coloring pages and families asked for more, we listened. I started a online store not I next work and grow the team.
💙 This is a “Profit with Purpose” project. We believe in:
Supporting family creativity
Protecting children’s online experiences
Promoting learning About AI and use it to build eductional content by Children for real families
No hidden fees. No distractions. Just meaningful content created with care.
🛡 AI-Powered Safety: Digital tools that:

Help us maintain a fun, educational, and emotionally safe space
🚀 A New Opportunity for Educators
We’re building something extraordinary for classrooms: a public platform where student-created projects can be shared, celebrated, and optionally funded—while staying safe, transparent, and family-accessible.
Here’s how it works:
Classes that reach 1,000 likes will earn their own webpage on TallenFamilyStories.com
At 10,000 likes, they’ll be gifted a custom website, modeled after TFS and built with teacher collaboration
All funding is optional and managed locally (by districts, parents, or none at all)
💡 This approach empowers educators to design real-world, income-supported classroom projects—while saving thousands on outdated materials. Tools like Canva Pro, AI story generators, and coloring page makers become powerful, affordable teaching assets.
🌍 Our long-term dream: a safe, student-led network that celebrates cultural diversity, encourages ethical technology use, and inspires young creators around the world. A child-friendly, belief-respecting, imagination-first corner of the web.
1. Is It True?
→ Accuracy matters. Before sharing information, ask:
Is this fact-checked?
Where did it come from?
Could it be misunderstood or misleading?
If it’s uncertain or potentially false, it’s better to hold off. Even well-meaning guesses can cause confusion or harm if they’re presented as truth.
2. Does It Matter?
→ Relevance is key. Some things might be true but still not helpful. Ask:
Is this information important to the person or audience I’m sharing it with?
Is it respectful of their situation or needs?
Will it help or just stir up drama or fear?
If it doesn’t support growth, understanding, or safety—it might not be worth sharing.
3. What Effect Will It Have?
→ Think about the impact. Ask yourself:
Will this make someone feel embarrassed, hurt, or unsafe?
Could it cause arguments, bullying, or fear?
Or will it help someone feel seen, supported, or informed?
We all want to be part of a community that builds each other up, not tears people down. Even if something is true, the intention and impact of sharing are just as important.
4. Is It Legal or Respecting Privacy?
→ Laws and guidelines matter. Especially when working with kids, ask:
Am I sharing private information (like names, faces, or locations) without permission?
Does this violate copyright or someone else’s work?
Are there consent or age limits involved (like photos, videos, or submissions from kids)?
Even well-meaning posts can break rules if they reveal too much. When in doubt—ask for permission or stay anonymous.
Bonus Rule: Would I Want This Shared About Me or My Family?
That simple question can guide most decisions. But
The Dragon Hoard, The Tallen Families Stories Store

Behind every dragon, there’s a storyteller. This is where I get to share real life with our more mature readers. The content is family friendly but has some adult topics. The blogs below will help you decide to explore the “Who is John Tallen?” blog series. In these blogs you will find personal reflections, honest life lessons, and the painful and beautiful moments that shaped me. This Blog section goes beyond the children’s books to reveal the past and present music, movies, and people who influenced how I see the world.
I have had years of experience that make me feel like these heartfelt tributes may help others overcome their situation. These are the hardest decisions I have had to make. This space is about sharing with courage and kindness. Some posts are joyful, some are heavy, but all are written with love and hope for the next person walking a similar path.
Whether you’re a mature reader, parent, educator, or just a fellow traveler of Earth I John, thank you for letting me share this part of this story.
—John (and Mr. Talon)
I Did You Know British Columbia has Kangaroos and Zoos
When we face health challenges many of us step away from the callings in life we loved. I went from teaching children to supporting individual adults. Then I got off my feet and found a desk job in Palliative Care managing and supporting end-of-life care. I helped birth a child and celebrated with the happy family. I also sat holding the hand of someone as they closed their eyes I felt as they left the room. Someone having to help me let go of their hand.
In the stillness and waiting for health results for myself, something stirred. My niece got married in late 2024. A dragon began to rise not in anger or pride, but in wisdom and resilience. I started saving customer tips to afford for my wife and I to attend the Wedding. As my mind focused on something other then health issues Mr. Talon was born. He was to become a mentor and Mr. Talon is now my symbol of the strength. He isn’t here to replace John but to be a communication tool. While Mr. Talon helps me to over come my personal barriers and has become my own voice as an educator. At TALLENFAMILIESSTORIES.com we want to have a collective voice different from Mr. Talon. That is what the Imagination Hub is for. The hub is where Children and their families can be their best versions of themselves. It is a safe space inspired to allow minds to freely create, share and belong.

🚧 A Work in Progress — With Purpose 🚧
This is just the beginning of what I/we envision. As our community grows, future funds will be used to upgrade our tools and technology.
Many professionals and businesses have offered to help in various ways. We appreciate all offers of help but have also learned to be cautious. Many supporters have conditions, hidden fees or specific content deemed non-educational. These surprise costs or misunderstanding of “Free for Children” can derail good intentions. That is why we are being upfront and so you can see how your generosity creates real effort.
We see TallenFamilyStories.com as a gift to children, not a grab for profit. The professionals and many online tools wants to add click ads and offer products geared towards families. Parents should never worry their child’s visit will cost money or that their child will be distracted by popup ads. If you believe in this mission, you can support us by visiting often. Visitors are equally as important as money in our Digital world. Our Social Media is only one example of how we promote ourselves. Our number one way to grow will be by word of mouth and using sharing is caring content. Please share this space with your family and friends.
