fish words
Una was alone in her bobbing boat-home but outside feather-finned birds swam through the air and water-winged fishes flew about the ocean. They would rise to the surface and blow silvery bubbles full of salty fish words. As the bubbles jumped into the air they popped and words scattered. Una would catch the words sometimes and toss them around, string them on seagrass and wear them on necklaces.

How I wish I could catch a few of those salty fish words to express what I can't Lulu. Words fail me when I try to describe my continual amazement at your talent. Once again I am so happy that you are sharing your beautiful work with all of us...truly.

Lulu, how wonderful, and I am working on ABC's this week! Love that she wears them around her neck in the story... The stork, the net, the little girl, and all those letters... charming...

How charming! I love all the bright colored letters contrasted against the softer, more subtle charactes and background.
I'm falling more & more in love with Una with each new picture. You simply must get her story published because I know I will want to read it over and over. Thank you so much for sharing it with us here!
