Wooooo-hooooo!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read it Chynna!
Big smooches to you. ;-)
OMGoodness! THANK you guys!
ReplyDelete(would it be totally unprofessional of me to *SCREAM*).
I consider the two greatest writing achievements for me to be joining the WOW team and writing for Chicken Soup. I am truly blessed.
This is a wonderful book to add to your writing libraries. I'd promote it even if Jaimie and I weren't in it because the cause is one close to my heart: kids (especially special needs ones).
Thank you! ='o)
Chynna
Gosh, Chynna, you're an AMAZING inspiration. Your kids are so lucky! Big hugs to you (and your kids too).
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful celebration, and do the happy dance again from me!
What a wonderful book! I've got a few of these Chicken Soup books and always love the stories in them. They can be read time and again. This one sounds great!
