I love photo prompts. They’re something writers use to jar loose story ideas. We take a picture and make up a story, no matter how silly it is, just to get the creative juices flowing.

My daughter took Christmas photos in her yard yesterday, and the 3-year-old wasn’t cooperating. She’s a very pretty little thing—when she isn’t making faces—but here’s the best my dd could do. Love the angel’s wings? I think they should be black!

So, if you were a writer of children’s books, what sort of story would this picture inspire? Have fun! And Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday!
