PA woman publishes first children’s book
Fifteen years after writing a children’s story that was inspired by her daughter local woman Julie Thorpe has published her first children’s book.
The book titled The Sock Princess tells a story that families with young children can easily relate too. Thorpe said the book is based on those busy morning’s that all parents experience when they are trying to get the kids dressed and ready for the day.
“The socks were always the issue we would think we were all ready to go and then all of a sudden the boots and the socks came off because they weren’t right, so I was inspired by that,” said Thorpe.
“But I soon discovered that other people were also really particular about how their socks feel so there is a theme there and it reminded me of the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea with all the lumps and bumps except this character in this story struggles to get her socks just right.”
