After extensive research, I have gathered four ideas that I am looking forward to potentially doing my storybook over. This was no easy decision and I spent ALOT of time just trying to narrow it down from my originally seven possible ideas. I think I have narrowed it down to the top four and I can't wait to share them with you all.
1. Food (Veggie Tales)
This idea instantly caught my eye because it reminded me of a childhood favorite of mine, Veggie Tales. As kids, my siblings and I grew up watching this show an loved the way it incorporated Bible stories into fun, kid-friendly entertainment. But furthermore, from the research I've done. I have seen that vegetables have much more of a history than what I am aware of. I look forward to exploring this history and seeing what information I can share.

2. Bible Couples (Adam and Eve)
I think that most people, whether obliged in the specific religion or not, have heard of Adam and Eve. The couple is an iconic representation of temptation and sin. I grew up hearing this story but even after doing research learned that there are aspects of the historic tale that I was unaware of (like the fruit wasn't even an apple). My dad is a pastor and if I do this story I really look forward to being able to speak with him on certain Biblical topics that he might have additional insight on.

3. Nursery Rhymes
I've noticed a bit of a trend with my choices. They all have a nostalgia factor to them and this idea is no different. Most people know of the popular Nursery Rhymes, "Mary Had a Little Lamb" or "Humpty Dumpty". I look forward to exploring these traditional nursery rhymes in a new light. Just like Disney movies, we find that often times, these "family-friendly" tales often had a much different original interpretation.

4. Feral Children
This is a topic that I have actually previously watched documentaries or television specials over. I find the topic fascinating and always become very invested in the children's futures. The idea of children being raised by animals, albeit unbelievable, is not a newly discovered phenomenon, but rather one that has existed for years and years. I was unaware of the sheer immensity of traditional stories based upon feral children but think it would be a very interesting topic to cover.
