Where did Henrietta come from?
The story of Henrietta and her Special Rain Boots came about with a real life experience a friend and I had when we visited a small town in our province of B.C. My friend Norma and I decided to stop into a few ladies clothing stores on a very rainy dreary day. While shopping, I noticed 4 wooden ducks on the cash register counter. How odd in a ladies clothing store! But I fell in love with the littlest duck and bought her. At the next ladies clothing store, why I don't know, I showed the wooden duck to the owner and asked what she would name this cute little duck. She suggested Henrietta. I laughed and said that was so cute, so she became Henrietta the little wooden duck. At home, she looked so lonely so I decided to buy the other 3 ducks, called them her family and named them all. At the encouragement of my friend Norma, who said there is a story here, I started writing and totally believe the whole story was inspired by God.
