I really loved this poem. What a great idea to keep hold of the suitcases, turning them into cherished cases for toys.

The photo shows you have an artistic eye too.

Very much enjoyed reading.

This is such an interesting

Hi Jane,

This story has been excellent reading, you packed so much tension into each part, taking the reader on a journey of discovery for Vanessa. It had great pace, creating an unexpected beginning, middle and end.

Very much...
