Outstanding reviews
I really like the way you weave together the generational connection and the warmth between the grand mother and granddaughter. The mystery of the tree was engaging and added to the intrigue of the story.
Congratulations. This was a beautiful story full of warmth and connection.
WoahhhhThis story is so beautiful. I love the way you incorporated the prompt into what you wanted to convey about growing up. Great job! :)
I loved your story it reminded me of my childhood memories with my grandmother who I miss dearly.
Hi Shannon, Your story is lovely with the mc’s introspection and her relationship with her grandmother. My favorite line was this: “Don’t worry ‘bout what I do and don’t get.” It sounds so genuine. Also the closeness between the two characters is endearing. Congratulations on being short listed!
Thank you!! I haven't been able to check in due to a few projects and I was so excited to see the feedback! I'm still working on this piece, trying to turn it into a chapter book!

“You can tell she is a WOMAN because she’s lived longer than anything and anyone who’s stepped foot near her..." that description of why the tree is a woman has stuck with me. You provide detail and setting, and history in such a captivating way. I really enjoyed reading this. Well done.
Hi Shannon. Your story had me eager to hear more. Can't wait to read more of your work.
I could see them, the girl and her nana. I liked the fact that The Tree was their life and it provided everything they needed.
