I have a new grand-daughter! In her honor I made my second children's book, a special ABC to celebrate alternative, extended, blended, and birth families! Full of nonsense verse and lovingly illuminated, now available on Amazon.
A Sampling:
Welcome to the world, Katherine,
How wonderful you will be!
Because you are the blossom,
Of the most amazing family tree!
K is for Aunt Katie,
Who Knows that kooky kangaroos,
Only eat kiwis in Kansas,
Never key-lime pie.
Q is for Quebec,
Where it is considered quite quaint,
To quaff quinces quietly,
With the quality queen.
U is for Uncle Charlie and Uncle Chip,
Who ultimately understood,
That upside down umbrellas,
Are useless against unicorns.
With lots of branches,
And as you will see,
A few grafts on the vine,
Helped to create
your unique family ABC’s!
Blessed Be!
