Millie came up with the main idea for the book after I started throwing out some wild ideas. She jumped on the idea of writing it about a loose tooth because she had her first one at the time and that's really all she talked about. She decided that the tooth would tell the story and that his name would be Bob. I had to help her wrap it up a little bit because I don't think she would have ever ended it. She came up with all the ideas of the illustrations on her own and the dialog was all her own. I typed up her words as she dictated and made an outline for her on the computer so she could copy it in her writing to the book and finish it on her own.
After she wrote all the text and drew all the photos, I put it together and bound it for her. We submitted it a few weeks ago and still have not heard anything. Maybe we never will but she truly enjoyed doing it and kept telling me over and over "Thank you so much Mommy for letting me do this!"
