Calista's first book

Calista wrote and illustrated a book last night titled The Solar System Has Planets. She designed the cover and stapled the pages together all on her own. Her spelling was a little creative in places, but then that's what copyeditors are for. The book featured Neptune, Mars and Pluto. She drew Mars with a pretty good rendition of that planet's polar ice caps, and pointed out that it has the "Biggest volcano in the whole world." Pluto was drawn in a cold and icy manner, smaller than the other two planets, because, well, Pluto is smaller than the other planets. Neptune was drawn larger than the others, and featured a school of fish swimming on it. She knows there are no fish there, she explained, but added them because "Neptune" sounds like it should have fish.

I have a wise and clever child.
