We like rain so much!

...is not only the title of this post, but also the title of Winkie's very first book. That one that he has envisioned, written and illustrated all by himself.

I think the idea of a book took form sometime during Journal time in school, when he wrote a series of illustrated pages on why he liked Juan (his best bud) so much. It did not take very long after that, for him to understand that he can write on just about anything at all (he is soooo... ready to be a blogger!!), and his favorite subject....ancient mythology...provided the setting for his maiden project. I know you must be curious to see what's inside this book, so without any further ado....ladies and gentlemen, I present to Yoooooouuuu....We like rain so much!!!

[Disclaimer : Please bear in mind that what you are about to view is the original, unedited first edition of the little masterpiece. Thank you!]

1. We like rain so much. (Note how he now includes his new baby sister in every family picture of ours!)
2. We like rain the sun is now up.

3. We like Indra because he helps the earth.
4. When Indra gets mad, he appears a storm. aaaaaaaaaah! Storms!!!!!! (Note, how he makes it sound like people are exclaiming ...... aaaaahhh! storms!!!)


5. Indra hurts Hanuman to save the sun.
6. Indra says sorry after he hurts Hanuman. (note the really sad face! :)


7. Hanuman will never eat the sun. (Love how sun truly looks delighted, and a tad relieved!)
8. Indra wants his earth to look beautiful that's why he makes water come.


9. Indra gets powers to put water on earth.
10. Do you like Indra? Yes we do love Indra. (Note how he's back to the old question and answer style of letter writing here. And don't you find the crown on Indra's head cute???)

The End!

He has taken care to have these pages bound into a proper book thanks to 3 strategically placed stapler pins, courtesy R, and is often seen roaming around the house with it in his hands, like a besotted fan. Speaking of fans, Thambi is not to be left far behind. Last night, we heard the sound of him reading in the living room. (Yes yes, he reads, or whatever it is you call that mumbled mumbo jumbo that escapes his lips, as he pores over the pages, a picture of studiousness!). And guess what book he was reading just then! Maybe I should rename this post....The first book, and the first fan!
