Mackenzie's Elf by Mimi

My mom wrote a book for Mackenzie about Hannah the Elf.  Here is a picture of each page.  Mom wrote the story and drew and designed each page. Some have stickers or stamps, but the drawings are hers. She should definitely be an author of kids books!  She even did a watercolor painting on the cover.

Mackenzie's Elf

Hannah the Magic Elf 

 To Mackenzie on her 8th birthday,

From Mimi, who loves you very much!

 This is a story about Hannah the elf,

She lived with Santa Claus, not on a shelf!

Hannah was happy and she had lots of fun --

But her one wish was to be loved by someone!

She blew magic snowflakes into the night

And she wished this one wish with all her might!

Hannah's wish was granted the very next day --

She'd been adopted and was sent on her way!

 When she saw Mackenzie she saw happiness --

Her wish had been granted -- She was truly blessed!!

She worked her elf magic -- she became a friend --

But December rapidly came to an end.

 With Hannah's departure came lots of tears!

But remember -- she'll be back through the years!

She'll never travel but a wish away --

And in a few months she'll be back to stay!

Until that day hold her safe in your heart

And know love lives even when you're apart!

Love is the magic that makes toys real --

Love is the magic that makes your heart feel!

 Always believe and be a child at heart

And know Hannah loves you when you're apart!
