This story won the Felman children’s award for best story of May, 2016 and is included in my eBook Kenney’s Not A Cripple. This eBook is about my childhood up until age fourteen, with a serious birth defect called Spina-bifida, a disease of the spine. Doctors told his parents that Kenny wouldn't live past six weeks. This story tells how he spent those last six weeks at the age five years old. Now at age sixty-five, writing this eBook.

In all of my autobiographical eBooks, I never said a bitter word about my disability until five-year-old Kenney lashed out verbally to his parents in Water In My Pocket about being teased by a few schoolmates about the way that he walks. Other than that, Kenney lives a normal life, for a disabled child. He’s sort of a handicapped Beaver Cleaver. His supportive sister, Sherrill steals the story pretty much through her charm.

People who have read this story have said that it is extremely happy, a bit sad, funny and tender.

I didn’t intend to publish this fifty-five-page story as a children’s book but a CNA at the nursing home that I am staying at almost insisted.
