One of the best ways to celebrate an author visit together, is to have the students introduced to my picture books ahead of time -- and then have them respond to my illustrations with their own original art work. 

Join me in a walk down memory lane of projects created using my books as a springboard to creativity. 

Most of these projects were done prior to my arrival on site, sometimes under the direction of the school's art teacher, and other times as directed by any number of classroom teachers. Several times, I have had the opportunity to direct the art process amid the students: PRICELESS! ​

I have organized this inspiration by my three picture books. So we will start with "You're Wonderful."

Here's a quick slide-show of work created by Greg of Kindergarten Smorgasbord fame, in anticipation of my arrival. Enjoy the process as it unfolds -- across his classroom.

"Red, White and Blue" 
Picture

​My third and most recent picture book derives from a song I wrote and recorded in the aftermath of September 11th. It is simple to learn in a 'zipper' format. Only one word changes from verse-to-verse. 

It very patriotic in nature and used at performances for Veteran's Day, Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. 

Enjoy this encyclopedia of children's patriotic art -- created in anticipation of my author visits. 



I created sixteen quilts from fabric which were digitally scanned to become the 32 pages of the traditional, hard-back, children's picture book. 

"Red, White and Blue" received the national 'Indie Excellence Award' upon publication.
