In November 2020, The Delray Beach Library and Writer’s Studio, Delray Beach, Florida sponsored a Pen to Pandemic Short Story Contest. As I assisted in homeschooling my 5-year-old granddaughter, my storytelling grew and became more creative. My short story, The Day the Unicorns Came to Delray Beach, came in as first runner-up in this contest with over 30 entries. Encouraged by the staff at the library, I adapted my short story to this children’s book, Happy Ever After A Pandemic Tale.
