Once upon a time there was a little story.
After all it’s words were written just right and all it’s pictures were drawn just so, it went away to get turned into a real book. The little story was so excited to be turned into a real book so that she could go out into the world and talk to children everywhere.
But then…
She got lost in a dark scary place.
The little story wandered around for many days in the dark before someone found her and gave her a nice little green flashlight. Then she took her little flashlight and took a big breath and searched and searched until she found her way out of the dark scary place. The little story looked at herself when she got back out into the bright world and saw that, though she had been in the dark scary place for a long time it had turned her into a real book!
Then that real book looked around until she found a group of children and she told her tale, the one with the words written just right and the pictures drawn just so, and everyone was happy.
The end.

Lovely ‘little story’ 😉
😀 Thanks!
Reblogged this on anita dawes and jaye marie.
Lovely way to announce an arrival!
I wish it was more of an it’s actually here like it’s supposed to be announcement and less of a true story with a hopeful ending…
What a cute story!
🙂
Thank goodness for the happy ending! Will keep an eye out for the book. Not literally, I like having my eye in its socket 🙂
The ending is quite hopeful, I mean I’m sure it’ll get that flashlight someday… but it hasn’t seemed to have been given one yet. Keep your eyes in your sockets, easier to read the book when it does come out that way!
Birthing a book can be a painful process, but the joy is worth it!
