Our newest story…
January 16, 2008This is Fa’s latest publication called “The Happy Ladybug”. I love this story so much because it really shows how much she’s grown artistically. Okay. I know, the story structure needs work. But how friggin’ hysterical is the whole thing? She really put all of her effort into this…I swear I didn’t help her with anything but transcribing her thoughts!
Front Cover (Title and author)
(She drew all the pictures and narrated the story, I wrote down her words.)
(First there was a Happy Ladybug. Along came a cat.)
(Then, a frog ate flies on his lily pad. Then, along came a dog eating food in his blue bowl.)
(A cow drinking milk joined the party. A girlfriend doggy (look at the eyelashes) was minding her own business and running in the grass.)
(Just look at her udders. Hysterical! I can’t stand it!)
(A rainy day happened! Then, the rain went away and a sunny day came!)
(All the animals came out and played tag. A birdy joined in the game of tag. He said, “Can I come and play tag with you guys?” A snail came and slimed around in the garden.) (She used quotations!)
(A mouse was walking in the street and he was very careful by a car. All the friends went home for snack and played happily ever after.)
See, it’s moments like this that make it all worth while.
Makes staying up all night, just a smidgen easier.
That’s outstanding. I hope you keep that somewhere in a very safe place so you can show it to her years from now.

by Devilish Southern Belle January 16, 2008 at 3:27 pmThat is so adorable. What a creative little darling she is! Thank you for sharing that with us! You need to get it laminated and then re-bind it so it won’t crumble or get torn over time. What a treasure!!

by mamatulip January 16, 2008 at 7:21 pmHow do I get an autographed copy?
Fabulous book. Absolutely FA-BULOUS!!
by Margaret January 16, 2008 at 8:09 pmThat is absolutely adorable! The artwork was priceless.
by Tara R. January 16, 2008 at 10:01 pmIt’s absolutely beautiful! I love children’s artwork. I keep all my kids stuff in big tubs in the basement. We are going to have a good laugh someday especially since some of their people drawings look like a penis or vagina.
by slackermommy January 16, 2008 at 10:01 pmI’m lovin’ the artwork! Adorable!!!
by Multi-tasking Mommy January 16, 2008 at 10:57 pmIs this story after the Grouchy Ladybug?
These are actually REALLY good! I thought my daughter was a good artist but yours is even better. I think our girls are the same age (4) but out of curiosity when during the year does fa turn 5?
by cherann January 17, 2008 at 12:13 amThat is TOO cute! These are the kind of times a momma’s heart melts! Keep it forever….
by Toni January 17, 2008 at 7:04 amThat is fabulous! My favorite is the “girlfriend doggy!” Thank you so much for the friendship award. I posted it today. You and Fa are two cool chicks!
by Southern Fried Mom January 17, 2008 at 3:49 pmAaaaaaw! What an awesome imagination she has there!
by Carrie January 17, 2008 at 4:11 pmSo many animals all eating snacks! Whoever was hosting that party better have a big spread!
