Featuring Cindy Gehl's short story, "Taking Account"

She tells of a mom's treasured moment in her daughter's clubhouse during a rainstorm. It was selected from thousands of other potential stories to be included in Chicken Soup for the Mother of Preschooler’s Soul because of its special ability to touch the hearts of preschool moms everywhere.

Here's an excerpt:

"It's starting to sprinkle, Annika. Let's go in," I said, preparing myself for a barrage of objections at disrupting her backyard playtime.

"The sky darkened, but the disappointed look on my four-year-old's face dissolved into one of revelation. She turned to me with her rosy, plump cheeks and pleading blue eyes and squealed, "No, Mom. Let's go up in my playhouse to get out of the rain! Please?"
