A special Moment Wednesday. 🤍. I was sent this photo—Grandma & granddaughter (my mom and niece) reading Paisley’s Wish. I also opened my journal, and these pressed leaves fell out.

My dream has come true. 🤍🥹

A little about the author & maker

April Thompson is a writer, maker, founder of Maple Prairie, and a mother who believes the smallest moments often hold the most meaning.

Paisley’s Wish was written slowly, alongside seasons of changing, children growing, and the quiet noticing of everyday life.

Maple Prairie is her way of holding those moments—stories and keepsakes, created as a home for life as it unfolds, season by season.
