| Writing Challenge: The story behind these boots, written by: you! |
 |
| THESE BOOTS WERE made for talkin'... |
|
| IF THESE BOOTS COULD TALK...What would they say? I've passed by this scene many times on my way to my in-laws' in Glenwood, Minnesota, but until recently, hadn't found the right moment to stop to take a photo. When that moment did come, the sun was positioned perfectly, causing the boots and fields behind them to glisten. So what is the story behind these boots? Why are they here on these fence posts in the middle of nowhere? If they could tell us why they're here, what would the story be? Send me an email (click on boots to reach contact page). I'd love to hear your creative answers. And if you're willing, I'll post the results. |

| In first grade, the year Roxane began experimenting with punctuation |
|
In second grade, Roxane handed her teacher a handmade "book" bound by staples. After quietly reading it, Miss Larsen said, "You should write books someday." Some 30 years later, the planting of those seeds has taken root.
The first of Roxane's children's books to be published, P is for Peace Garden (Sleeping Bear Press, April 2005), takes readers on a rhyming alphabet tour of North Dakota, where Roxane and her family currently reside.
Her second book to be released, First Salmon (Boyds Mills Press, October 2005), introduces Charlie, a young boy who comes to accept the loss of his uncle through experiencing his tribe's annual salmon-honoring ceremony, and remembering the special times they had shared.
