Thanks so much! I showed it to my Early Childhood class today. They had never seen a digital storybook before and they were mesmerized! It was so fun to share it with them. I used a laptop so the screen was bigger for them.

Hi!

What a sweet story, and the illustrations compliment the text so well. Congratulations!

I'm curious. Did your story get accepted as part of the "Author Challenge" that MeeGenius had? Or did you submit at some other time?

Thanks so much!   :grouphug2  I did enter the Author Challenge in November. I wasn't a finalist but received an email that Meegenius loved the story and wanted to publish it anyway!
