Ever since I first attended graphic school, I dreamed of writing and illustrating a children’s book. For years, it remained just an idea - one of those gentle ambitions that sits quietly at the back of your mind. Now, with a loving wife and a wonderful twelve-year-old son, the dream has found new meaning and purpose.
This book is the result of my journey - a book to read and enjoy, but also a book about the joy of making something together. At the back, you will find practical tips to help you create your own book with as little stress and frustration as possible. My aim is to share a simple workflow, suitable for anyone who wishes to embark on this creative adventure, whether alone or in collaboration with their children.
Creating this book has been a learning process and a source of immense pleasure for me. Along the way, I sought the advice and input of friends, family, and acquaintances, whose support has been invaluable.
Above all, I hope you have as much fun with this book as I did making it. Whether you are reading, illustrating, or creating, remember: there is no right or wrong way - just your way.
