If you are a child of the 70's Summertime may have seemed much simpler, slower,
like molasses running up hill.
Kids made their own fun, used their imaginations to create forts and climb trees and play outdoor games. There were no cell phones, ipads or you tube....just lots of time spent with family and friends, and creating new adventures!
Debbie Estrem and I
are working on a picture book
for preschoolers that transports them back to the way kids spent their summers in the 70's. We hope it will spark some imaginative ideas for the wee folks and that adults will enjoy the little stroll in time.
"It's Summertime" is the first of a four book series from Debbie Estrem, who has also authored "Have You Ever Seen a Firefly?" and "Sights at the Zoo."

I am working on the final illustrations for a lovely little book for the wee folk about JESUS.
What a delight, right before Easter, to be working on a book that introduces preschoolers to King Jesus, who lived and died and was raised from the dead for people, big and small.

I have been doodling in sketchbooks for some time, inspired by CH Spurgeon and other wonderful word pictures on the basic truths from scripture.....And it dawned on me that these illustrations might be a helpful teaching tool for kids.... so I am in the midst of creating a dummy...Here are a few sketches and sample art.
