Hi Bill,

Sakura Petals is such a beautiful story. Thank you for creating it.

We work with children in adversity, giving them access to magical storybooks to help them connect with the world. Our storybooks print on a single sheet of paper. We would love to collaborate with you and publish this story as one of our tiny little books.

It will be great to hear from you! You can reach me out at swastika@wallobooks.org

Keep writing! Keep inspiring.

Regards,

Swastika.

Great story, Bill. Sometimes it is best to think like a child.

I guess I need to stock up on glue sticks now. 😉
