During the wait for the thunderstorm to pass, John noticed Jodie working at her drawing board in the McCallum Gallery, and mentioned that he had always wanted to write a children's book.
He asked her if she would like to see some of his poetry and he stopped by the next day with a few pieces. It didn't take much direction, as John picked up on what Jodie wanted.
John turned out a wonderful lighthearted manuscript that really appeals to all kids young and young at heart. Jodie and I went to work on paginating the manuscript to conform to a standard 32 page children's book. Sketches followed that were turned into full color illustrations.
To be continued....
