Custom
Children's Books In 2006, I started making
customized children's books for families.
I would get to know the child's favorite toys and interests
then write and draw a story in which the child was a
protagonist of their own children's book that incorporated
these personal attributes - a custom children's book.
"Milo's Train" (May 2006) A boy
goes on a train ride adventure with his animal
friends.
This was the
first book used as a prototype which I based upon my oldest
son, Milo. He was into trains and animals and was dealing with
a new baby brother.
"Maya and the
Butterfly" (September 2008) A girl helps her
butterfly friend find his brother.
The Wadhwani family lived between Irving
and Hugo Streets which became the names of the brother
butterflies. Many of the magical toys in the book were ones
she played with frequently.
"Adventures of the McKane Brothers:
The Box" (August 2010) Three brothers find a
box in their living room labeled, "Adventure
awaits".
The McKane
brothers each had their turn at playing the hero and their
parents were cleverly incorporated as characters that helped
them along their journey.
