Sadie fires up the helicopter for a rescue mission

Sadie heard Shubi’s call for help and quickly came to the window. “Shubi?” Sadie exclaimed. “I am so happy to see you, but what’s wrong?”
Shubi replied, “I am happy to see you too, Sadie! I need your help. I have found two children lost in the woods. Follow me. Hurry!” Shubi shouted.
Sadie was all dressed up and on her way to a costume party. It was planned to raise money for homeless pets. She wore a beautiful, long Victorian dress with a big feather hat. The feathers were donated by some of her birdie friends who wanted her to look her very best.
This costume was not the best thing to wear for a rescue mission, but Shubi said there was no time to change. “Get in your helicopter and follow me quickly!” he instructed.

Shubi looks for Sadie

Shubi was very happy to see Cheeky, but he did not have a long time to visit. After a short break with Cheeky, Shubi took flight again to find the house.

With just a few more flaps of his wings, he found the house between the trees. It was just the way he had remembered it.

The windows were all open, so Shubi stood on the window sill and hollered for Sadie. “Sadie! Are you home?” Shubi shouted. “Sadie! It’s Shubi. This is an emergency! Please come quick! I need your help right away!”

Shubi continued to yell for Sadie until he got her attention.

Review of “The Designer's Guide to Marketing and Pricing, how to win clients and what to charge them” By Ilise Benun, and Peleg Top.

I ordered this book to see how it may help in marketing a children's book we had published last summer. I have found a lot of “gems”, and I have to say it is well worth the price. It's chronological order lists issues from startup to ways to grow your business. Ilise and Peleg have taken their actual experiences with clients and used them to help others. This book is filled with worksheets and special notes in highlighted boxes, that help you put into words and actions all of the principles they are teaching the beginner, as well as the experienced. The podcasts that go along with the book are a great resource as well. I will use my dogeared copy as a reference continually throughout my career. I highly recommend this book.

Shubi heads off to Wilsonville

Earlier that day, the children had told Shubi that they lived in a town called Wilsonville. They had gotten lost while on a camping trip.

Wilsonville was not far away, and Shubi knew a young lady from there that happened to be a pilot.

The pilot’s name was Sadie. She had the biggest and best bird feeders in all of Wilsonville. She always left her windows open so birds could fly right in to visit with her. She loved all animals and did everything she could to help any animal in need.

Shubi daydreamed about Sadie’s place all the way there. He knew he had made it there when he saw Cheeky, the duck. Cheeky had been rescued from poachers and retired to a beautiful lake on Sadie’s property.
