There's a pop-up window on my website, sophiajanehayden.com, where you can get a link to a PDF of The Story of Rockit by joining my email list. It's a short children's tale. Rockit is an adorable Australian herder pup with big dreams of herding cattle like her famous grandfather, Mick. But when she is adopted into a California home, she's met with two mean cats and a couple of elderly, very slow-moving tortoises, Herman and his wife, Morticia, in the backyard. It seems her dreams of being a herder have been dashed. But are they? Wise old Herman, who has lived for 105 years, tells Rockit never to give up on her dreams. #story #shortStory #storytelling #scribesAndMakers #mastodon #bookstodon #bookTok #wednesday #writingCommunity #writing #writer #writers #kids #childrensbooks #stories #cartoons #cartoon #tales #tale #animal #readingCommunity #readersofmastodon #reading #readers #fun #cute #cuteanimals #cuteanimal #sweet #dog #dogs #tortoise #catNews #cat #authorLife #authors #author #authorsOfMastodon #email #website
I wrote a cute little story for young children with a few pictures. It's not publishing-quality, but it's cute, so I'm offering it for free to entertain the kiddies, and hopefully, adults will like it too. If you're interested, I'm emailing a pdf of the story to anyone who contacts me through my website. Just go to my website and choose Contact at the top. Then send me a note asking for the free story. It's easy, peasy. Hey, if you like free stuff, today's the day. Parents, if you want a new story for your youngsters, here it is. Enjoy! #story #storytelling #childrensbooks #children #animal #animals #mastodon #books #bookstodon #booksky #writing #writers #writersCoffeeClub #saturday #scribesAndMakers #writer #stories

Partial illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.
"Fear turns into wonder
making them want to leap with joy
into the cookie-scented air!"

Patrzcie co przyszło do mnie. Zdałem sobie sprawę, że to pewien kamień milowy, to pierwsza profesjonalnie wydana książka z moimi ilustracjami w środku, jaką stawiam na półce!
Ilustracje wyszły w druku bardzo dobrze, co cieszy.

Beautiful, fascinating story about the Margery Williams Bianco's Velveteen Rabbit, one of my all-time favourite children's books. If you read this as a child, you definitely remember how hauntingly sad it was, a strange mirror, it turns out, of Bianco's own child's story. https://www.vulture.com/2022/11/velveteen-rabbit-margery-williams-bianco-book.html
