When you beta read that for me, you asked, "is that all?" and so the story "Firefly" came about. After that, Butterfly-Fairy rather took over, and started telling me more stories about her adventures and her friends. The book you hold in your hands is the result. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as you did the original "Sunflower" and the other stories in Dragons and Dreams.
Fondly,

I don't think it's too quaint. Many authors have written similar notes about how their books came to be. And not just children's books. At the start of "The Robe" by Lloyd C. Douglass he notes that someone he knew wanted to know what happened to the robe afterward. And R. L. Stevenson included a note to Lloyd Osborne (his step-son) at the start of "Treasure Island."
