No, that’s not a typo. 3 yr. old Kelsier doesn’t spell very well, though he’s rather skilled for his age.

This is the uncolored version of the cover of the children’s book I’m making for my children.

The book is more about siblings being siblings, actually. And is mildly based off my son and almost 3 yr old daughter. It’s also kind-of told from Marsh’s perspective. (Cookies for Dinner is Kelsier and Kell and Marsh Outside is Marsh again.)

Text is as follows (some minor variation may occur): 

This is Marsh.

Marsh is seven. Marsh is a big boy.

Marsh likes to read.

Marsh likes to learn with Papa.

Marsh likes to help Mama.

Marsh is a good boy.

Papa says, “Marsh is smart and responsible.”

Mama says, “Marsh has a kind heart and an honest soul.”

Marsh says, “I like being big. I can make Mama and Papa proud.”

Kelsier says, “Marsh nice. Like Marsh lots.”

Kelsier is Marsh’s brother. Everyone calls him Kell.

Kelsier is three. Kelsier is a baby.

Kelsier likes Marsh.

Marsh does not like Kelsier.

Kelsier steals Marsh’s toys.

He rips Marsh’s books.

He makes a BIG mess.

And Kelsier gets Marsh in trouble.

Papa says,”Kell is too smart for his own good.”

Mama says, “Kell has the face of an Angel and the soul of a thief.”

Marsh says, “Kell is annoying. Can I get a different brother?”

Kelsier doesn’t say anything. Kelsier smiles.

Marsh scowls. Marsh does NOT like Kelsier.

But sometimes...

Sometimes...

Once in a while...

Marsh does.

Each line is a page. This is going to take awhile...

That is a core lesson. Survive, what it take.

Survival at all costs is a good lesson to learn. Disclaimer: My grandparents were/are all Holocaust Survivors. This lesson has been deeply ingrained.
