Taking care of his chickens is one of Mookie’s favorite things to do. But one day, he was gathering eggs in the chicken coop for his Grandpa and found something quite curious. It was an egg, but certainly not a chicken egg. Still, Mookie cared for the green and blue speckled egg and wondered what or who was in there. Mookie carefully watched over the egg. And when it hatched, he and his friends could not believe their eyes!

Sarah Shining by April Eight
c 2012
Sarah it’s a lovely day
The wind blows cold and the skies are grey
Even the flowers are hiding away
But who cares for we have you,
Shining through.
Sarah smile for us.
Share the spark that shines from your heart
There’s nothing more that the world could hope for
Than the wonderful girl that is you,
Shining through.
Sarah happy birthday to you
Six years old, so much to be and do
Remember the light that shines in you
Can never go away,
Even on the greyest of days
You’ll shine through
Oh oh
You’ll shine through.
Happy 12th birthday, Sarah.
