I love a good story. Stories are some of my most favoritest things. My Mom says I have always liked stories. When I was very little, my dad would read to me every night when I went to bed.
I would always be sad when the story was over. I wanted to hear more.
When we went to Grandpa's house, he always had great stories about when he was a little rabbit. I loved to listen to what he used to do when he was my age. My mom says his stories are too long and sometimes not appropriate. I don't know what that means. I love all of them.
When I got older, I started to go to school. The best part of the day was when the teacher pulled out a book. Those books always had some great stories.
I just couldn't get enough stories. I heard every story in the whole world. One day, I was feeling sad because I had no more stories to hear. My mom and dad had read me every book in the house and all the books at the library. I like to hear some stories again, but that day I wanted a new one.
My dad said, "Why don't you make your own story?"
My dad made things all the time, but they weren't stories. He just made pictures. I like pictures, but stories are better. I decided if I wanted to have a new story, I would have to make one myself. So, I got to work.
For days, I worked on my story. I didn't do anything else. I wrote lots of words and even made some pictures like my dad does. All the best books have pictures anyway. I worked very hard.
When I was done, Mom sent my story away to have it made into a real book. She said we could keep it for always if it had a cover on it. It was gone forever. But one day it came back.
The postman said he had been watching for me. He ran straight to my house the day he saw it. I was so excited even though I already knew the story.
I loved it. Mom said it was the best story she had ever read, so I gave myself a prize. This is my story.

A simply delightful story, and the artwork is a perfect accompaniment!
ReplyDeleteHere's my C!
Thank you. It was a lot of fun. I had the pictures first and built the story around them.
DeleteGreat story and pictures. It's such a joy when the kids choose to have me read them a story book, and there are so many good ones out there to choose form.

I did my best to instill this in my kids. I devour books. I never understood how someone cannot love them.
Delete"I heard every story in the whole world!" ...oh, the innocence of childhood.
ReplyDeleteHopefully somewhere there's a kid - nieces, nephews, Noah, that kid in that restaurant that once - who remembers me reading to them.
I hope they do. Moses needs to keep Noah's memory up.
DeleteDelightful story and artwork. Nice tie in to Easter.

This was a fun one
DeleteIf only is that easy to write a book but maybe it's easy for some people. Great illustrations.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
It would be great, wouldn't it?
DeleteI had the advantage of finding the pictures first. Then, I molded a story to fit the pictures I had.
Aw, such a sweet story. Nothing like having the actual book to finish it off.
ReplyDeleteYes. He's a proud little rabbit.

ReplyDeleteNice little story here :-) Very nice images too.
My father used to tell me stories. I remember Leo Tolstoy's stories adapted for children.
Thanks for coming by. I have always loved a good story.
DeleteI love this, it's great that it's about bunnies, writing, and mostly the art is brilliant!
