I have to disagree with the people who don't like these, but for a very specific reason.
I am the mother of an adopted son (he's 6 now) with special needs. We are adopting again within the year.
These stories are FANTASTIC-- pardon the pun-- when looked at through the lense of someone with an adopted child, or a child with special needs.
(Or, in my case, both.)
I don't know if the author has any experience with my world, but the characters are tenderly written and deal gently with so many of the subjects that my son and children like him deal with-- feeling out of place, having trouble making friends, looking for people who are "like him," dealing with bullies, etc. etc. Even the goth crow is an identifiable character when you've been dealing with foster children for as long as I have.
Mrs. Tweedlechirp's loving and no nonsense approach to parenting is even identifiable. I like that she's not the throwaway parent that gets tossed aside in some quest for "real/wonderful/magical/whatever" biological parents.
Anyway, yeah, I hope someday all these stories are put together in an anthology.
