I am a shoelace.
Sometimes I feel brave, stiff, and as strong as the aglet.
And sometimes I feel like I’m hidden deep in the knot.
Sometimes I feel so good that I’m free and flexible like the middle flopping around.
Sometimes I feel dirty, like the longest part of a shoelace stuck to gum on the bottom of the shoe.
Most of the time I feel clean, like I’m still in the package or on new, shiny shoes.

Hi Stephanie,
Here a two websites that may help:
Tiaktok – an online platform that allows children and parents to create, illustrate, and publish their own books,
and
Stone Soup – a great resource for publishing kids stories and poems online, and they may also direct you to resources for publishing kid’s books.
WITS posts publishing opportunities on the blog from time to time, so stay tuned. Thanks for your interest.
