Peter the fly-children's stories

Last summer, I wrote seven children's stories involving Peter Fly. They are picture books with a length of around 500 words--2-3 pages. My kiddo came up with the original concept as we walked to school, and I made up a story. She named him, decided what type of critter he was, named his friends, and helped me with the story.

I came home and put Peter to paper. I thought it was a cute story, so we came up with more ideas and I wrote the stories. I entered one contest--didn't final--and Peter has been filed away.

I still like my Peter stories. I can see them on the page with an illustrator's input. But this will never happen if I don't remove them from the file and send them out.

True, I'll get rejections, but I'm used to that with my adult stuff. I'll just send it to another children's publisher.

Today Peter will open his wings and fly.
