It’s MY book!

Summary


"It's MY Book!" is a lively children's short story about Susu, a girl who loves reading but keeps getting interrupted — by a silly goose, a crazy pig, a funny dog, and even a fire-breathing dragon. Every time she settles in to begin "once upon a time…" another unlikely animal appears, eager to join in. What starts as Susu fiercely guarding her book becomes something warmer, as she discovers that the love of stories might just be universal — and worth sharing.
