The End of the horrible day!!

So I was 8 when I "wrote" this book. It was quite a prolific year for me, book wise. I was on fire. 

Inspired by a twitter conversation I had with the lovely Shayna of The Cabin House, I thought I would share this book with you.

My grandfather had died, so naturally why wouldn't I illustrate the experience. For the record I did actually make it as a hardcover by using cardboard and wallpaper samples. It was amazing. 

"When my grandfather was sleeping he had a hardatack. And he

died. When my aunt came over with her friend. She sat down with

us and watched T.V. And my Aunt was talked about it. I was 

very curious. I asked her friend what they were talking about. Then 

the nexed dat dad told me and I burst out crying. And my mom asked me if 

I wanted to go to his funeral. I never saw a dead

person. I said yes. And before The funeral. My sister did not really

understand so she could not come with us. So she had sophia to babysit her. I was the

only kid at my grandfathers funeral. and there were limosines. 

every where and they had electric windows. And I was squished

be my father. My father say the limosine almost looked like a pool I

laufed so hard. I cryed agin I came back

we were going to my nanny's (grandmother). Her kitten died and I cried

even more. The End of the horrible day!!

this is amazing sara!

i made a similar type of book called: "why would a frog be buried in a haunted cemetery?"
but it's not as feelings- based as this masterpiece is!

i made a wallpaper sample book, too! although mine was about ice skating and size 11 feet. long story.

(for the record, i wear a size 6 and have no balance, so it wasn't an early memoir)
