Why I write children's books.

I write children's books because I love children. Ok, I love making up stories too but I really love to see their eyes light up when you are telling them a tale. I love to see a child grab a book and want to sit on a lap. I think is very precious when we adults take a minute, read and laugh with our child. Our tiny humans deserve our time. Every child needs to have fun and entertainment but what our children also need is our focused attention. That few minutes on a lap, with a book, laughing at character and learning values. I don’t know if its possible to have a bad day when you get smiles from curly haired children with rosy cheeks. How is it that some of us are too busy to give them this time? I want my books in the hands of children everywhere, I want them in love with the characters and most of all I want them learning something about life. Rupert the very naughty elephant and many of my upcoming books have little life lessons hidden with in them. I believe lack of knowledge cripples a child to act out what is in front of them but education through theses life lessons gives our child a choice in who they will become. So taking a few moments from your day, set down with your child and Rupert the naughty elephant. Give them your full attention and help them become the best person they can be.
