Children's writing: The Giant - by Alicia

Alicia, you used this picture to spark your imagination to write this wonderful story. I felt great sadness by the time I got to the end of this; the giant ends up outside a museum. It made me think about all my visits to museums to stare at dinosaurs and statues.

Thank you so much for sharing this.
