After a fun-filled evening of activities, it was time to wind down with a drawing activity. As Junean and the two sisters sat on the floor with coloured pencils, each started on a piece of their own artwork. One of the sisters asked Junean to draw a picture for them, so she did.She drew two characters, a snowflake and a star, and told a story about how the two characters became friends. After her improvisation, Junean noticed she had captured the sisters' undivided attention. They were in awe and demanded she tell them the story again!That night on her way home, Junean could not get out of her mind how the two sisters had responded to her story. When she arrived at home, she typed out her story and over the next few days created a rhyming tale.Pleased with the final result and encouraged by her then partner and father of their two children, she decided to post her short and sweet poem on WordPress. The feedback was amazing, some said, 'I could see this as a Christmas advertisement', another comment was, 'you should publish this'.Not expecting that type of response, Junean realised that she had something magical worth sharing with a wider audience ... And here we have the first edition of a mini-series.Enjoy x
