A Triple Inspiration

My triplet ballerinas are my triplet grand-daughters, Makenna, Jaeli Jo and Maysie. My children's picture book, The Triplet Ballerinas, is almost ready to be self-published. (See my Facebook page:  The Triplet Ballerinas). The dedication in my book says, "For my triplet granddaughters, Makenna, Jaeli and Maysie, who inspire me each and every day". This is so true. When I started writing almost 4 years ago, I had no idea what to write about. After a lost dog came to our house one Fall day, lost from a hunter, I thought maybe this would be a good story to write about. But then, of course, I was inspired with writing about the triplets and it evolved from there (remember the ponies!). Back then, the triplets were of an age (around 6 years old) that they would have really enjoyed reading and sharing this picture book. Even though they are more into chapter books now, they love that there will soon be a picture book out there that was inspired by them and dedicated to them. They can't wait for it to be published so they can share this special book with their classmates. I can't wait either for that day, hopefully by the end of the year. Beverly
