Our budding writer

Shannon recently wrote and illustrated a book about a sad little horse who lost her ability to neigh. Fortunately, the story has a happy ending.
Anyway, we entered it in a contest for the PBS show Reading Rainbow, and her book won first place in the kindergarten category in Central Texas. We are so proud. She was awarded this backpack and a bunch of other fun stuff.

The local PBS affiliate, KWBU, threw a party for the winners, kindergarten through third grade. The winners are seen here with a soon to be devoured cake and KWBU representative Roxie Collier. In the background you can see Rachel, grandmommy and James' back.
