Summer Project: Black and White picture books

My new niece was born this summer, and I thought about what I would have liked to have when Sera was just a newborn. The answer was some simple black and white picture books. I did not know that black and white images were most suitable for newborn eyes until I had a one week year old squalling child in my arms. Not quite the best time to run out to the bookstore and pick up some books.

So, this summer I made a few in honor of my new niece, and for something to share with the rest of my squalling adorable children that we hope will join our family. I thought quite some time about submitting these to traditional publishers. Yet, I know that there was little chance of them finding success any time soon. I could spend a solid ten years subbing children’s book manuscripts and have nothing for it but an empty pocket book and hours of wasted time. Time I could spend creating more things. So, though, the prospect of these selling very well in a digital format is very slim. It is still nice to have the illusion that I have been able to share these creations with others. I had a lot of fun making these little books, and I hope a few more people than I have fun reading them while curled up with their small, wobbly-headed, squinty eyed newborns. I hope when those wobbly headed ones get older their blank stares will turn to smiles when they hear mom or dad making ridiculous nonsensical sounds. Kaaarooo!
