So I’ve turned the blog over to The Four-Year-Old. As I type, she is busily rolling the Story Cubes looking for a good story to fall out.
Ah. Looks like she found one. Here we go…
Once upon a time, a little girl was sleeping 
under the tree 
on the big green Earth 
with her pet bug Shoshaka. 
. Then the girl woke up and saw a shooting star in the morning. She said, “What the heck? Is it still night?” And then she and her pet bug counted 
the leaves on the tree she was sleeping under.
She found a beautiful fish 
called Shalakafish. The fish was lost so she took Shalakafish home. And the friendly thunder 
helped her. The friendly police bee tried to help too, but the girl ignored him. They all went home to their castle and left footprints 
behind them.
The End.
Happy Day After Thanksgiving, y’all.

About Shala Howell
Writer of things ranging from optical network switching white papers to genetic testing patient education materials to historical fiction set in an 1880s asylum. When I’m not scratching my head over pesky characters who refuse to do things how I want them done or dreaming of my next book (which will of course be much easier to write and research than the current one), my writerly self can be found sifting through the stacks in my church’s archives looking for a few good stories to tell, blogging about life with a very curious Six-Year-Old at Caterpickles.com, or musing about books and the writing life at BostonWriters.wordpress.com.

Tell the 4 year old that I love her story, especially the name of the fish.
Will do. She’s got the cubes out again this morning and is hard at work on another story. She doesn’t want me to write it down though, as she is going to simply tell it in pictures she draws herself. All I can tell you t is what she’s told me: “It’s rated PG because of the crying.”
