I have always been interested in writing and illustrating children's books with values. I want them to be entertaining: create discussion between child and parent. Years ago, I took a workshop with Rick Walton gave me some great insights, but I haven't tried to seriously write until I recently took two art classes that required writing and illustrating a children's book. The encouragement I received from my finished book has been amazing. I hope to get it published, but I feel like I need to write at least two more before I submit the first--maybe it was just a one-hit wonder.
