the borders to thieve. If only they would share their produce. But the Kings
decide to fight, instead . . . with dragons. But what kind of future will that
bring?

There Was a Hole ©22
by Adam Lehrhaupt

Lily has a hole. It eats her joy, makes her angry, and--no matter what Daddy
does to try to help--it just keeps growing. So Lily retreats. But a friend lets her
in on a secret (he has a hole too!) and shows her the best way to repair holes:
spend time on friends, family, the things you love, yourself, and kindness.
Those patches don’t make the hole go away, but they help. A lyrical and age-
appropriate story for learning to cope with grief and loss.
