A Home for Rosie & Dinosaur Zoo

Donation protected
I'm a children's author with the vision of producing books that are fun, interactive, and teach valuable lessons to both children and grown ups. I have two children's books currently available. Quentin's Problem is about a pirate boy who can't say 'Arr!' and teaches children that we all struggle with something and that we should never be ashamed or afraid to ask for help. Fuzzy Buzzy's Treasure is about a bumblebee who learns a lesson in sharing and teaches about the importance of pollination and bee conservation. 

I’ve been working hard to get TWO more children’s books ready to publish this year thanks to Gypsy Publications and two new talented illustrators. The first one is called A Home for Rosie and is about an older dog who needs a home. Many dogs like Rosie who are older or who have special needs, have a hard time finding their forever homes. This book follows Rosie’s journey to her forever home and will include real photos and stories of real adoption stories at the end! Here are a few preliminary sketches thanks to artist Katrina Kissell. The first is Rosie and below is her original owner, Paul. Aren't they cute.
The second book is called Dinosaur Zoo, about well…a dinosaur zoo! But it’s not just any zoo. These dinos love to play, and they really want to play with their zookeeper. But she’s so busy working, she doesn’t have the time. Or does she? Dinosaur zoo is all about making time to have some fun within our busy days. We all need to slow down and strike a good balance between work and play. Here are a couple of sketches from artist Melissa Quinio:


All donations will go toward paying these talented artists for their precious time so  we can maintain an adequate marketing and distribution budget. Any amount you can donate, even $1.00, is greatly appreciated. Sponsors who donate $25- $49  will get  signed copies of each book when they're finished. Sponsors who donate $50 and up will get signed copies of each book AND original artwork signed by the artists. 

Thank you so much for considering this project and for supporting literacy and creative art.
