Okay, so I've been writing a kids book for my FTA class and for my Young Women in Excellence project, and I finally got it done tonight. I'm so excited! It turned out WAY cuter than I would have hoped. I still have to put it into an actual book, but that should be easy now that I've got the story down. Anyway, there may be a few corrections that I'll make here and there, but this is it, for the most part. I hope you enjoy it! Oh, and if anyone has a good idea for a title, please share. I'm a little stuck on that little part.
Dewey is a short, silly plant
Who lives next door to his aunt
Her name is LaFern
And she tends to be stern
He wants to ignore her, but can’t
For their roots are twisted, you see
Reaching deep beneath a big tree
LaFern is too grumpy
Because she’s so stumpy
Dewey wishes that he could just flee
Since his roots grow so deep in the ground
He is almost entirely bound
But he won’t cease to try
‘Till he says his goodbyes
Oh, what a fantastic sound!
One day, while twisting and turning
Dewey felt all his roots a-moving
He pulled himself free
And crawled toward the tree
Then started a new beginning
He walked for hours and hours
Passing many types of flowers
He got very thirsty
And also real dirty
So he wished for an April shower
Dewey put his roots back into the soot
‘Till he could feel the water on his foot
He found it was rocky
And made him feel stocky
So his good mood just went “ka-put”
He sat in dry ground for a while
But could not even force out a smile
He missed his stern aunt
And realized he can’t
Leave her all alone in exile
Dewey made his way back over yonder
While trying real hard not to wander
He arrived there at last
And made it there fast
Then he instantly felt much better.
LaFern and Dewey rejoiced
They were glad that he’d made a good choice
Together again
Family to the end
They cheered with a jubilant voice
