My daughter, Kashmira, was inspired today after seeing your presentation at the Newhall Library yesterday. She sat down at the table on her own and said that she's going to write a story just like that teacher showed her at the library. Then she started illustrating with excitement, determination, and inspiration and talked about her story at the same time.

After she was done with her illustration, I told her to tell me her story from beginning to end as I wrote it out verbatim.

I have attached her story for the contest. Thanks again for your inspiration. "
