My daughter’s kindergarten class had a medieval theme project and each needed to write a story within the theme. At first I thought they all did the same story but some kids wrote about princes and dragons, others about different kinds of princesses. This is what my daughter Elsa wrote and once I read it, I knew it was perfect to share.
“The Princess and the Prince by Elsa Jerez-Young”
“Once upon a time there was a princess.”
“Her name was Eliza. A dragon took her.”
“The dragon was hungry.”
“The prince was on a horse.”
“The prince fought the dragon.”
“The prince won!”
“They marry.”
“And they lived happily ever after.”
“My name is Elsa Young. I am 5 years old. I am in Mrs. Cubero’s kindergarten class at PVPV/Rawlings Elementary School. My favorite subject is library. When I am not in school I like to play birdy.”
The symbolism is perfect. We may have not had to face a literal dragon but it’s a good metaphor for the immigration system…
