Some Book Ideas

 


    A while back, I thought about making some childrens books. I had about three ideas I felt were strong and interested me to try and make. Most of the inspiration coming from being a dad and wanting to answer some call to provide entertainment for my daughter. Other inspiration came from how much I loved childrens books and when i was young, checking out all the different kinds at boarders ( saying boarders makes me feel old oh good grief! ) 

    The other true joy I got making these up, was that my wife Amy and I actually wrote them all together. Shes an editor, for words, so shes really smart! Playing with wordplay and coming up with the best story and rhymes in such a constrained manor was a real challenege but I had a smile on my face the whole time doing that with her. 


    Im kind of at an impass now because looking at the old cover ideas and page scribbles, makes me want to return to them again and actually flesh some out to try and get published ( oh the impossible task it is ) So let me know what you guys think! Should I try again? Which one seems the most fun to you guys?
