"A playful story that teaches young folks that naptime and dreams can be fun. An original, cleverly executed, and highly recommended picture book story." - The Midwest Book Review. After moving away to a strange, new town, young Sally-Ann simply refused to lie down. No kids are out playing and it's different here. It's rainy and cold and her voice shook with fear. I miss all my toys, I don't like this day. Her mom tried to comfort her: It will all be okay. As they drifted to sleep, Sally felt a small prickle. Something soft on her back made her tingle and tickle. It fluffed and it puffed into separate things. They were covered with feathers. She had sprouted two wings! Then she and her mom go for a wonderful and enlightening journey as their adventure takes them soaring over the city, and countryside. And then... she awoke with no wings; it had just been a dream. Of course it was, even though real it did seem. But Sally-Ann did feel better. She was ready to play. Her mommy was right! IT WOULD ALL BE OKAY!" A delightful rhyming story about FLYING and finding the bright side to relocating. MY NEW TOWN features scenes from the Portland, Oregon area! She's received accolades for her writing and artwork since childhood, and has been telling original stories to her daughters for years. Now D. R.
