As always, Vivian Kirkfield (an absolute gem in the kidlit community), has put on a fantastic contest!
With only 50 words to tell a complete story, this contest always puts my writing to the test. Just like last year, my entry for the 2022 contest ended up on the more playful side. I hope you enjoy the antics of my little bumbling friend as much as I enjoyed creating them!
