I have to tell everyone that my daughter has authored four books in one week. The first one is called "Little Worm", the second "The Boy Who Wanted to Become a Mermaid", the third "The Caterpillar Who Wanted to be a Butterfly" and the fourth "The Fairy Who Wanted to Make a Rainbow With Her Friends". I am her stenographer and she writes the title page and does all the artwork.
Little Worm
An excerpt from "Little Worm" ...Little Worm takes a walk with his Mom (she marked out Dad for some reason). Next page, Little worm's Mom has a baby with his Dad. It's a baby girl worm named Melissa. *Karson loves the name Melissa lately. I have a few friends named Melissa =).*
The Caterpillar Who Wanted to be a Butterfly
An excerpt from "The Caterpillar Who Wanted to be a Butterfly"...He wanted to ask a girl but she was a little shy. Next page, And then he walked on to another person but he got into a cocoon and slept.
The Fairy Who Wanted to Make a Rainbow With Her Friends
An excerpt from "The Fairy Who Wanted to Make a Rainbow With Her Friends"...She asked Blueberry and Blueberry Deaton said she would help her do the rainbow. Next page, Then they walked on to another person.
*I wish I had the book "The Boy Who Wanted to Become a Mermaid" but it's currently being showcased at Alvaton Elementary by a very proud grandmother. Karson has the best imagination. I love it when she feels the urge to write a book or create anything for that matter (make a card, paint a picture). Our refrigerator is covered with her artistry. Amazon.com should be picking up her books later this fall if you would like to own a copy.
I love it! I think it's great that she is so imaginative. Philip is very creative too and loves to draw. He loves to be called an artist or illustrator. He is learning to read now, so authoring books will probably be coming soon!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I think the boy who wants to be a mermaid sounds pretty interesting. Oh, and happy 11 months Miles.
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed! Seriously, those are great! I love to hear the stuff that comes out of their little brains. Madeline wants to read them so let us know when they come out in print! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour Karson is too creative. Love the books. I can't wait till they are in print so I can get a set of them for Emma :0)
ReplyDeleteBTW - thanks for the compliment on my girl! I think she is pretty adorable myself....and the picture was taken by Wes Davis. He has done her pictures since she was an itty bit. I would recommend him to anyone! (FYI - I have posted some pictures of Jody's twins on my blog if you want to see them - they are pretty cute little babies!)
There's a Young Author's Conference in Bowling Green every spring. She should do a book for that. I'll get you the details.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very smart girl you have. I am a huge literacy and writing fan. I think it's so important. You must do such a great job working with her! So...any wonderful tips you should share?
