One year I followed a family of geese, taking lots of photos of them over several days and weeks, as I am a creative photographer. Later the same year, I decided to write a book to give to my grandchildren. It eventually came to me that I could combine my photography and book writing. So that is how Hudson Learned a Lesson came to be! Suddenly I became an author and illustrator, all in one. While writing this book, I wanted to incorporate several things for children; lots of pictures to keep them interested. learn importance and reason for rules. provide a means of increasing their vocabulary and allow for interaction between reader and audience. I think that the book accomplishes all of those ideas and I hope you think so too!
