The Porcupine Prince and the Publishing Company

Today seems like a good day for a whimsical post. Here’s what I came up with – hope you enjoy!

His Story…
Once upon a time there was a porcupine prince, who had a dream of creating beautiful clothes for the whole world (or at least his corner of it). He had seen so many children who needed inspiring and thought “I can do that!” Just think – bead work, embroidery, cross-stitching… And the little porcupine began to sew…and sew…and sew…and sew… but no matter how much he plied needle to cloth, the stitching never seemed quite right and the color of the beads was just so-so. Then, one day when he ran low on beads, he took a quill from his own back and sewed it into the shirt. He sat back. It. Was. Perfect! Amazing! Today, he has completed the shirt, and we will see where the story leads, but my bet is to one naked little porcupine and a whole lot of happy children.

Our Story…
Once upon a time there was a publishing company, who had a dream of creating beautiful books for the whole world (or at least their corner of it). They had seen so many children who needed inspiring, and thought “We can do that!” Just think – big books, little books, tabbed books… And the authors began to write…and draw…and write…and draw… but no matter how much they plied pen to paper, the wording never seemed quite right and the color of the pictures was just so-so. Then, one day when they ran low on words, they took their own words and wove them into the story. They sat back. It. Was. Perfect! Amazing! Today, they have completed the story, and we will see where it leads, but my bet is to one simple publishing company and a whole lot of happy children.
