The Children’s Literature Center at Frostburg State University has a tradition of bringing authors, illustrators, and storytellers to local schools. At one of the local schools, an incident occurred that inspired this short book. An author/storyteller asked the primary aged children if they could have anything, what would it be. Typical responses were voiced. I want a game box. I want a four wheeler. I want to go to Disneyland. One child, however, said that she would like a story written about her. Dr. William Bingman, the Frostburg State professor who brought the author/storyteller to the school, told some of his friends about the child’s request. This book is the result and, of course, is dedicated to Ashlyn.
