One diary line becomes one page
A sample diary written by a dad, and the children's tale that arrived the next morning. The child's name and neighborhood become storybook names.
DiaryMy daughter Seoa rode a bike without training wheels for the first time. I held the back at our apartment playground.
On Saturday at Firefly Playground, Lumi held the back of his daughter Soi's bike. Today there were no training wheels.
DiaryShe shouted, "Dad, did you see? I did it by myself!" and I almost cried.
Soi rode a whole lap by herself and threw both hands in the air. "Dad, did you see? I did it all by myself!" Lumi's eyes went shiny and blurry.
DiaryShe fell twice and got two bandages on her knee. After dinner she kept showing them off.
After dinner Soi showed off the two bandages on her knee again and again. Lumi listened, proud, again and again.
DiaryShe fell asleep right there on the sofa.
Still showing off, Soi fell fast asleep on the sofa. Lumi tucked a blanket over her and kept the whole day quietly in his heart.
