This book is dedicated to all the little girls and boys who believe in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Boogeyman. Their wide-eyed enthusiasm and innocence inspire the story-teller. I, especially, want to thank my granddaughter, Zoe, for her participation in this twenty-first century fairytale. After all, it really is her story.
