1. It started with a school visit that during lunch I was going to meet with their book club.
I wanted to be able to talk to the kids about the book they were currently reading, so prior to the visit I read the book myself.
2. At the end of the book were some random interesting facts, one of which gave me an idea for a new picture book.
3. That idea sat in a drawer for over a year while I was busy with my freelance work.
4. I signed up for the Picture Book Marathon and committed to writing one picture book a day for one month. I needed thirty ideas, so it was the perfect time to pull lots of old stuff out of that drawer.
5. On Monday, Brody and I will take a walk to the mailbox and mail it. I'll let Brody lick the envelope for good luck although I know he would prefer to rip apart another flip flop.
So, when it gets published, I already know a book club that it will be dedicated to!
