Every summer since 2019, we have written a book.
Then we turned it into a VOLUME!
We brainstormed what would our new book be about? The best books take a real situation and turn it into a “lesson” for others. So she remembered about her puppet show about bullying. This would be perfect! We also wanted to introduce new characters like Scaredy squirrel. Maybe it was time for Piggie to move on and meet Gerald. (Mo Willems, eat your heart out!) We had our story all set. Now it was time to put it in our journals and come up with a script.
Here is our cover:
We wanted to stress the idea of being COOL is all about being who YOU really are and not selling your soul to fit in or please another. Gerald and Piggie find each other amidst the temptation to be part of the “crowd.” We dedicated the book to Woody.
All rhyming! Also, we have, we have this same pic in each book…that “what do I do?” picture and dilemma. The wise sage here, Puppy, is flooding Piggie’s head with wisdom. (with a poem ).
Proverbs 17:17. Yes. Forgiveness and Friendship!
May this 5th grade school year be filled with this. AMEN! I love you, TOT! I can’t wait for our book to be sent to us from Snapfish.
