I wrote it in the style of the old children's book series that were popular during the 40's and 50's (pen and ink sketches included!) as I recall loving them so much. The whole project was a wonderful experience and I hope that by sharing the books that I write and illustrate with others, they may find a little something in them that they can connect with, too. Happy reading!
