    “…blocks in its pockets.”

    She’s got a great future!

    Beware the blocks!

    I am really interested in the blocks.

    What is so significant about them?

    Andrew: Mia has a good and trusting heart, so my bet is that the blocks are toys that will soon engage both beings in play.

    I did wonder that…

    My favorite word in this is “creepily”–it pulls in several marvelous directions simultaneously.

    I hope there’s another installment.

    Has she found an illustrator, or will she be illustrating it herself?

    Elizabeth: Oh she’s handy with the Big box of crayons! But if you give her an illustration she will surely write a story about it. d

    I just can’t get the smoke clothes and blocks in the pockets out of my mind… Let me see what I come up with this weekend. Perhaps then we’ll get a second chapter?

    Yes! She will have a great time with such a project.
