Author and Illustrator: New Book Scheduled for 2014: "What's Wrong Sunflower?"

 
"What's Wrong Sunflower?"
 
Is a book that supports young children in developing empathy, self esteem and a review of science through nature's seasons. The book is designed to meet children ages 2-5 but can be enjoyable to anyone reading it.

 
How many times in life has it been raining on your head? In the sense of going through difficult times!  Well sometimes children experience this difficulty too especially because they don't have the same knowledge base of adults.
 
In this story sunflower takes a journey after getting advice from her friend "Rose".  She tells her to pick up her roots and go. This takes "Sunflower on a journey through all the seasons of the year. During her travels she experiences heavy winds of the fall, the chill of the winter and the down pour of the spring until she reaches the sunny summer. She then stumbles into another friend that provides her with some much needed insight.
"That it doesn't always rain silly!" We all know this is true, that hard times to do not always last.

 
 
If you would like to know more about the publication process of this book or donate funds to help further bring this into fruition please feel free to contact me.
 


The painting above is a 16x20 and is available for sale. It's a limited edition painting that is a representation of the upcoming book. If you would like to see other paintings from the book please contact me.
