This product summary highlights the author's experience as an artist, illustrator, and author, who came from storytelling and, WE did not own a T.V.! You see, when one is a writer, actor, dancer, musician; a creator of any kind, he or she does these things because they listen to that "voice" inside of them.

All of inspired thoughts come from...but when you have electronic screens in front, speaking that voice for you...

it DROWNS OUT THE VOICE! When I started putting stories that I told down on paper and did drawings to help illustrate them...I guess the rest is history."The author's imagination is so fertile is because I came from storytelling and, WE did not own a writer, not see, when one of the author, you do not own answers.
