Sunday, December 4, 2011. When I stopped teaching art full time, I devoted my time writing. And illustrating children's books. I got a lot of ideas from.

Of the contemporary issues that interest kids and influence kids. I tried working part time in a day care and loved being with the babies. Me reading to the class.
