Soap Box Babies Gracey Sweedy

Soap Box Babies, is a story of love, and how the love of a child can enhance our lives. The story begins in a place called Unfortunate County; a beautiful place with willow trees cascading the streets. With the warming sun peeking through the branches and the fine greenery, it is nothing less than Beautiful. Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs, otherwise know as Sid and Sadie, reside here, and have no reason to venture out of Unfortunate County for they have everything, but do they?Sid and Sadie live in an old brown farmhouse. Their house overlooks rolling hills of freshly planted corn and they grow the best tomatoes any one has ever eaten; the corn just melts in your mouth like butter and the tomatoes are delicious. One day Sadie became curious; she decided to venture out of Unfortunate County to climb the mountain named "Change." The mountain was intimidating but still she persevered to reach the top. It was a rough climb but once on the other side, she found a supermarket that had everything and more. This adventure took her to places she never knew existed. They say change is good and in this case, it certainly was!
