The Adventures of Little Ms Pout - A Prologue

Ive always been fascinated by children's literature, and have never had many problems devouring it. Recently, I started working on a children's book of my own. Here it goes.

Prologue

It all begins, as it should, with a little house covered in ivy. There was a little pale green door with a shiny brass knocker and polka dot curtains at the windows. When it snowed, the top of the house was covered in soft white frosting, and it looked like it was a house right out of Candy Land.

The dear little house belonged to little Ms Pout. Ms Pout was a dainty little lady with soft brown curls, a sunny smile and a nose she hated but which fit her face just right. Her forehead scrunched up into little criss-crosses when she was tired and her face beamed bright and shiny in the presence of happy things.

Now, Ive probably made you all believe that little Ms Pout is perfect. And oh no, she’s not! Ms Pout makes mistakes just like the rest of us. She forgets to feed her dogs sometimes. And sometimes she’s forgotten she’s already fed them, and she feeds them again! She’s prone to burning batches and batches of cookies, she’s broken her sister’s umbrella more than once and so it goes. But there was something about little Ms Pout that wasn’t quite like the rest of us.

I know Ms Pout, you see. Ive sat in her dear little house and we’ve had long talks over cookies and tea. The things Ive seen and heard with little Ms Pout, made my eyes get rounder and rounder, and larger and larger. I asked her if I could share her magical worlds and stories with people, and with her apple-like cheeks getting a little pink, she said “Yes”. And so, here it is. One of the many adventures of little Ms Pout.

That's all I have so far, Im still in the process of sketching her out. She's based on my original Ms Pout.
