How a story was born

 

I can remember the exact moment as I was opening a kitchen cupboard trying to prepare lunch for family members that were arriving. My three year old grandson came running in, "Grammy, Grammy, I saw a fish in a tree!" My immediate response was, "A fish in a tree? How can that be?" At that moment Pop pop said, "Sounds like a story."

After my grandson filled in more details about the fish in the tree, we had lunch. That evening after everyone had left, Grammy sat down to write the story that needed to be told. 

Obviously, from it's birth, it had to be in rhyme. Grammy was pretty pleased with her first draft. Pop Pop thought it was good too. The grandkids liked it too. Grammy decided she would like to try to get the book published. Oh, Grammy had so much to learn.....(to be continued).
