Pockets in Bloomington, MN

Pockets is a sweet story about a young child who receives a pair of overalls from her mother. She fills her many pockets with her toys and treasures, and wisely discovers that her pockets can't hold the most valuable things in life, like smiles, hugs, sunshine, and love. Pockets won First Place in the Juvenile Short Story category in the Frontiers in Writing 2010 contest. Pockets is a mother-and-son collaboration, with story by Kimberly Black and beautiful illustrations by Sean Black.
