Almost Eponymous

This photograph is imperfect, and I regret that, for this little girl is anything but.  She was among those gathered at the Big Blue Marble Bookstore yesterday; she was, indeed, the star.  For this is Allison, and Allison and Elle (Dale Scannell and Trish Oniskey) is the story this young lady's own grandfather wrote about Allison's neighborhood adventures with her golden retriever, Elle. 

Yesterday afternoon, Allison, who goes to school one block from the bookstore, got a chance to read her story to her crowd.  She dressed impeccably for the part.
