Acknowledgements
I wish to express my appreciation to Joe and Ellen Bocik, my neighbors and friends. Their children’s contribution of 144 drawings appear in the 12 monthly chapters of the original black and white third edition book, Twelve Upon a Time... Each chapter is now part of a new 12 book “Bedside Story Collection Series” and the drawings that appear in each book are printed in the wonderment of color. Each monthly story is unique and illustrated by children whose interpretation of the words help tell the stories, as seen through their eyes.
These colored drawings were created by Adam Bocik (age 12), Sarah Bocik (age 10) and Sharon Bocik (age 7). I also wish to thank Hannah Bocik (age 7 months) for her singular drawing, which appears in the December book. All their drawings represent the genuine imagination only children can bring to life. Their drawings enrich each of the 12 stories and provide parents and their children an enriching experience told beyond the words. Enjoy each of the 12 books in this “Bedside Story Collection Series.” Pleasant dreams!
Introduction
This is the seventh book in a 12 book “Bedside Story Collection Series” spanning across the 12 months of the year. Each of the 12 bedside stories is reprinted in color from the author’s black and white third edition book Twelve Upon A Time... Each monthly story is unique and illustrated by the original drawings of children whose interpretation of the words can only be seen through their eyes.
This bedside story and all the stories are written to further the imagination of children and to strengthen the parent and child bond through the sharing of heartwarming, silly, absurd and believably impossible tales.
Stay tuned for all 12 of the “Bedside Story Collection Series”.
What a spang-sparkling day! It is July 3rd, the day before America’s birthday. Melissa and Sarah could hardly wait for every year their family celebrates their country’s birthday by attending the parade and fireworks in their town. They thought that this year was not going to be any different. Little did they know how different it would be!
Sarah and Melissa lived in a small, rural town with their parents, Mark and Kathy. Small towns are known for their patriotism and the town of Bridgetrow was no exception. Melissa and Sarah were enjoying their summer by doing the usual things they do each summer. They swam in the creek that winds through their
