My newest illustrated children's book is now available on Amazon!

This is the final set of the drawings I made while I was in the hospital lst month, using just a Sharpie marker for outlines, and a set of ten Crayola markers for coloring.
This one is an activity book, with pages that invite children to interact with learning about food shapes, how to draw basic shapes, and identifying shapes in a crowd.
I discovered, while drawing the pictures for this book, that a remarkable number of foods are round, rectangular, or oddly shaped, but that we don't eat all that many ovals or triangles. At least, I had some trouble thinking of them. Most of the rectangles were because the foods come in boxes, not because trhey are, in themselves, rectangular. I decided that crescents (bananas), sem-circles (tacos), and other irregular shapes will have to wait for another book.
Meanwhile, the animal book from last week's "Sneak Peek" should be available tomorrow, if not today. Progress continues on More What Mother Goose Meant. I'll be offline the latter half of this week, as I need some minor corrective surgery for the shunt that reduces my spinal fluid pressure (Check out Thirteen Days to Darkness on my Amazon Author Page for the full story of how that was part of my going blind.) I'm taking markers and drawing books, though, and have several new books in mind for young children. Watch for those in the weeks ahead!
