Fantastic Florence Lesley Millard Zafran

Florence was born when a supermarket bag flew across Lesley Millard Zafran's windshield. The first moment she could, Lesley pulled into a parking lot and started writing a children's story about a marvelous, strong bag that bravely leaves her comfortable store to have wonderful adventures. What Lesley was not expecting was that this first story would lead her to write a series of children's books that also address the traumatic experiences that some children face. In these stories, Florence wisely and lovingly comforts children, and validates their feelings as they struggle with situations they are too young to understand.
