Martin & Sylvia: Saturdays!

Waiting for the Sparkle

Now that Martin can write full sentences, he decides he wants to write an entire book. He gets his paper and pencil, and he sits down to begin; but he can't think of anything to write! Daddy sympathizes and encourages him to be patient. Sometimes the sparkle of an idea takes a while to arrive — but it always comes!
