Freddy the Frog Gets Married
came about when Granddaughter was 9 years old. I sat down on the floor to play with Barbie dolls with her and laid out my notes I had started and asked her if she would like to Co Author the second frog book? She loved the idea and I said this could be like a lemonade stand and you could earn money for your College fund. So, we took notes and she helped make decisions about design color and language. She designed the wedding bouquet for Rosie. She drew a scene for a night wedding in Grandma K's rock garden that I submitted to the illustrator. She came up with the idea to have each families' name start with the same letter. We both learned a lot about what goes into making a book, working with an illustrator and the Business that printed the book. It was the best experience for me working with my granddaughter and watching her grow during this process.
