I
have discovered that in order to WRITE a book, you have to be a skilled
writer. While I am comfortable writing...writing a book in the
simple precise manner necessary for it to be good for children is a
whole other story. I humbly apologize to trees everywhere for the
unbelievable amount of wasted paper I used in writing this story out.
I can however manage to illustrate a book with a decent sequencing of
images that conveys my idea. The story focuses creating positive
coping skills for common childhood fears. It centers on a young
girl that confronts her fears, and that the empowerment of overcoming
her fear is crucial in her growth as a maturing child. Her fears
are the standard fare of: growing up, monsters, being alone, being lost,
strangers, the dark, and spiders...Temporarily entitled "Home On My
Own": Here are the final sketches in sequence, and one page
finalized into full color.
