The Sky So High

Little D hoped that someday she'd get a chance to climb the nearby mountain to reach up and touch the sky. However, when she finally got to climb it on a blueberry-picking trip, she discovered that even from the top, the sky was still too high to reach. Little D was disappointed until Grandfather helped her to see she'd actually touched the "sky" of knowledge and experience. Growing up in the Philippines, Dolores D. Bennett wrote articles about whatever inspired her to reflect or made her laugh. When she retired from teaching GED classes in 2019, she was scheduled to go to Spain as a missionary, but COVID-19 canceled her plans. While quarantined; however, she began writing her biography, His Hand on Me which was published in 2020. In 2021, she published six children's books: The Big Black Feather, The Wise Hen, The Hen's Dream, Cutita and Vaquita, PupPup The Bully, and Stories of Boogie's Friends. In 2022, aside from The Sky Is So High, she plans to publish Spike and Spike, The Rock, A Surprise Reward, and Mr. Williams and Nugget.
