A very special night in June of 2015 resulted in a new children's book. Some friends were out with my daughter and I, celebrating Ellie's first book release. We had finished up our Chinese food (appropriate given her "slight fried rice obsession") and were driving home, under the bright light of the June full moon. Our friend Dan began to talk about his earliest childhood memory... asking his mother, "why does the moon follow me?"
I settled into my chair back at home and wrote the text of what would become my second illustrated children's book. I sent it to Jessica, who is an amazing artist as well as Dan's fiancée, and we decided to release the book in July of 2016, as a surprise in honor of Dan's birthday.
Since then, the beautiful illustrations have brought my story to life. Ellie added her own special inspired images to Jessica's, and I couldn't be happier with the result. A very special coloring activity book compliments the story book, which itself is a quiet, sweet lullaby in a book.
I love writing and I love sharing my work by publishing my books. I especially love working with others like Jessica and Ellie, to bring my children's books to life. I hope you'll love this collaboration as much as I do. Why Does the Moon Follow Me? releases July 9, 2016.
