What is the aim or goal of your writing: Writing is fun! That's why I do it. And I love to help children learn that reading is fun, too. My picture books are diverse and interactive about topics like nonverbal communication, friendship, and love. SHOW ME HAPPY and A KISS MEANS I LOVE YOU, my most recent books, have beautiful photos of real children by Eric Futran. I think kids enjoy them because they can relate to the babies and toddlers pictured and imitate their actions and expressions.
