Months ago, I found out about the yearly fiction contest over at Highlights for Children magazine. This year, the theme was "holidays".
Hmmm...
It was a win-win. So I sat down and scribbled a little story, working around a lovely holiday--Easter--and weaving in culture from a favorite country--Ukraine. And it won! "Easter with Baba Lena" won the Highlights for Children Yearly Fiction Contest! I still don't believe it. But here's the link to prove it. It's one of three winning stories. One more thing: I've grown up with the Bible verse about "pride goeth before a fall". Mama always said "don't brag on yourself." My German roots and Mennonite culture don't like making this announcement. But as a friend said, maybe my news can inspire others to work toward their dreams. Sometimes dreams come true.
