PICTURE BOOKS!

A lot of people think that because picture books are short, they are the easiest books to write. Believe me, they are not. I find it a lot easier to write longer books and here’s an example of why: If I asked you to tell me about yourself, that would be easy. You could take as much time as you wish and tell me everything you want me to know. BUT, if I ask you to tell me about yourself in one sentence, that’s a lot harder. You have to think about what you want to say, choose your words with care, and select only the most important things you want me to know about you before you even start to speak. Picture books are like that. It’s hard to tell a story with a limited amount of words. Plus, you have to be sure that your story has a lot of interesting pictures in it. Each time you turn a page, there has to be something new and exciting to see. You can see a selection of my picture books below. Many are out of print, but still available new or used from Amazon. If you click on a book cover, it will take you to Amazon, where you can read more about each title.
