I’m a published author! Kind of. I wrote my first children’s book as a gift to my one year-old niece, Adaire, for Christmas and it’s published through Bookemon.com. I channeled my inner Dr. Seuss and had a lot of fun writing this. The hardcover book with pictures and all can be found here, http://www.bookemon.com/book-profile/presents-for-adaire/246967, and the eBook version here, http://www.bookemon.com/get_epdf.php?group_id=246967&type=epdf&check=7837e34430a17dc76c7fdb1c9173c4c3

PRESENTS FOR ADAIRE

Adaire, Adaire
Oh where, Oh where
Did you go this Christmas Day?

I looked about
Inside and out
Your home and under my sleigh

With gifts in hand
Of a far off land
From the North Pole they were sent

For dear Adaire
With pretty hair
Where, oh where has she went

I found a note
It’s about a boat
Your family went on a cruise!

I told Dasher
We must try to catch her
All the reindeer were so confused

“Will we have time?”
In Rudolph Chimed
We must, we must, we have no other choice

So I touted
And shouted
“Hurry, Hurry!” ‘til I exhausted all of my voice

Up in the cloud
I holler loud
In the distance, I see your ship

I swoop on down
Making not a sound
And land with a celebratory flip

We’re here, We’re here
Thank you, reindeer
You saved Christmas morning again

Just in time
It feels sublime
To know opening gifts may begin

Oh boy, lookie
She left me a cookie
Adaire expected I’d still come

And for her brothers
Her Dad and mother
Of course I also left them some

Present and gifts
Oh heavens forbid
Poor Santa couldn’t find his way

It shan’t occur
This I concur
Where there’s a will, there’s a sleigh

I must leave soon
With light of the moon
And deliver gifts to other kids homes

I have a bike
I hope they like
Maybe I’ll gift them an iPhone

So I must leave
And please believe
I hope to see you next Christmas day

But worry not
Your gifts I got
Whether you’re home or you’re away.
