“Semi” I had a lot of fun on those hot summer days, riding in a semi so far, far away, to near nor to far from that same big bright star. Always smiling, barely ever a frown Mommy and I sitting on those two big Seats looking over the hood sometimes Down at our feet Listening to music and tapping to the beat Barely ever sad, together again A couple more days and the fun will all end By Concetta Leggio

This is a story about Sally the semi. Sally is a special semi, with beautiful blue paint, and chrome detailing. Her owner, Harley, takes care of Sally with truck washes, tune ups, and wax to keep her paint shiny, they are best friends.

Concetta Leggio, I am from Stanwood, WA. I have been writing for fun since elementary school. This story was a gift to my Mom and is very close to my heart. I have two beautiful dogs. When I’m not writing I am studying or watching “The Golden Girls”. My name is Kayti Welsh and I live in the beautiful state of Virginia right outside of Washington, DC. I have loved art from the moment I could appreciate it, and as a child, spent many weekends at art galleries with my father. I remember being in complete awe of the colorful creations that hung on the walls. I would think to myself, "I want to do THAT when I grow up". As soon as I could hold a pencil I began creating, and have been hooked ever since! I feel that with every illustration I create, I help to bring to life someone’s story, and it’s the most rewarding feeling I have ever felt. It is an honor and a privilege to bring characters to life, and I am so thankful I can be a part of it.
