I can't believe in less than 2 weeks my first picture book will be ready to hit the shelves. Writing a children's book has been a dream of mine for many years. I have always loved reading. My favorite author is Dr. Seuss. The rhyming text and fun illustrations engaged me immediately.
As a elementary media specialist, I read aloud many books to many children every day. I take a lot of time deciding which book to read. I want everyone to make a connection to the text, and ultimately find an author or genre that sparks a love of reading.
My students at Dutch Fork Elementary School, were the first students to hear my book. Before I even had it published I shared it with the students in a powerpoint presentation. The response I had, smiles I saw on faces, and love for the characters, were all the inspiration I needed to take my manuscript and send it to publishers.
