Coco felt empty. She thought that her life was nothing special.
So one day she decided to do something about it.
Coco went on a long trip.
She needed to explore the world out there and see what she was missing.
Coco went everywhere looking for special adventures.
But she only found herself lost, in the middle of nowhere.
_ Anybody here?
_Can anybody hear me?
Complete silence was the response, she was about to cry when... a little voice whispered:
Coco? Is that you? We cannot believe that you're here!
A ladybug family! Yay! I'm so exited to meet you all!
What she didn't imagine is that the ladybug family had already met her, not too long ago, in Coco's own backyard.
But when they first met, Coco didn't even notice the ladybugs. She was too busy feeling empty and bored. That's why the ladybug family decided to go on a long trip as well, to see if they could find a good friend somewhere else.
What happened next is that Coco took the ladybug family all the way back to her home. They became best friends. Once home, Coco felt so inspired that she started writing a book called: Ladybugs in your Backyard.
At night, Coco could not wait for the next day to arrive. She was now so excited about her life!
She had great friends, a book to write and many new things to learn about those teeny tiny creatures called ladybugs.
THE END
Coco, her suitcase, her book and the 3 ladybugs have been reserved for purchase.
SOLD OUT (Thank you!)
Elsita,
Your creativity knows no bounds! I loved meeting Coco and reading her story. Thank you!

Love it! Such a great story and cute doll!!
I've been noticing the ladybugs a lot and other
bugs too. There is a blog called The Garden I
think it is the name and Tim posts some really
neat photos of bugs.
One day I hope to see you illustrate and write some
childrens books. I see Kathrine Dunn is illustrating
a childrens book. She also has a book coming out called,
Creative Illustartion Workshop: Seeing, Sketching,
Storytelling and Mix-Media. If you get a chance click
my name and check out her blogs. You'll find a link to
that book online. I think you'd enjoy her art. The link
to Pinos Pie Day will take you to her Donkey Dreams Blog.
God Bless You and Yours!!!
