Another Milestone!

July 25, 2016

This month I published my very first Kindle book!

It is called Everything Has a Place and was inspired by my husband.

He has a pesky way of leaving his socks all over the house.

His socks, also known as "crocodiles" (not sure why I started calling them that), are how the story kicks off. Little Rooster is fond of putting them in a pile instead of where they belong--the laundry basket!

I hope this book helps you start the discussion of where things go with your Little (or even Big) Rooster or Chicken!

Enjoy!
