Little Lady Phenola

Written by Mildred M. Stokes and Illustrated by Almar Denso
Can you keep a secret? Sometimes a best kept secret needs to fly free. Phenola had one. But on one day, she let it out! Grandpa is clever, and storytelling is his "go to" whenever his artsy self takes a break. Phenola is curious. She likes to explore. "How can I learn to believe what I think about myself, my friends, and the BIG, BIG world I dream?" she wondered.
