“You have a real way with words. Your prose is gorgeous, and I couldn’t help myself but continue turning the pages.
I loved the idea! My kids would definitely enjoy this. And since it’s pandemic, they would have time to play and exercise as well. Where were you able to buy the yellow and blue rocks? I’ve checked in the mall but they don’t have the materials.
Such beautiful writing this is. I appreciate your talent. “
