A Very Special Book...

Sophie Amada Graham, kindergartner at Brookside Elementary (age 6), has written the following book with no assistance whatsoever. Though this electronic version will be a little difficult to see and will not likely do it full justice, we hope you'll enjoy it just the same. Here it is:

(Translation: Our Family by Sophie Graham - with labels for each current member)

("Our family is so sweet.")

("My Mommy is a great cook.")

("My Daddy is good with kids and makes jokes." On the left side, David is holding Sophie's hand and a baby in the other hand. On the right side, our family is all laughing at one of his "jocs.")

("Aidan likes to fight. He likes Batman." On the left, Aidan is playing a "fighting" video game, and on the right, he is dressed in his Batman costume.)

("And I like princesses and Hannah Montana.")

("And the baby in Mommy's tummy swims.")

("The end." Before anyone panics at the creative spelling, I just want to emphasise again that this was written by a kindergartner with no assistance from an adult. It's rather good considering the source.)

Here's hoping that your day is filled with the kind of joy and simplicity that this story contains. Love to all!
