Our first children's book, has arrived. "A Tale of Two Berries" is based upon our beloved lady genevieve and her cat Horatio, and their adventure here in Redwoodshire. It includes a short children's story with 10 pencil drawn illustrations. We read it to genevieve that night and she very quickly realized that this book was about her and her cat, "E-O". One of lady genevieve's favorite story time activities is when she and her daddy do "Little Genevieve stories". The Laird sketches the adventure story as he tells it. Little Genevieve meets all of her favorite characters from other books during these silly story times.
Considering the idea was birthed late last year, and really came together a couple months ago, we are quite pleased with how things turned out. We've never done anything like this before, and were unsure how we would execute it, but are amazed at the kinds of things we are able to do with technology these days. Thanks to the help of some friends (scanning in illustrations), the Laird's mother for proof reading, the lady's mother for the amazing illustrations, and the Laird himself for writing the story.
Check it out! The Laird wrote the story. The Lady's mother drew the illustrations (all except the map of Redwoodshire- drawn by the Laird). The Lady worked on layout and format in Mixbook, and colored the front cover. This team effort has proved to be a success! I love what one can do in Mixbook. Kuddos to both my mother, Robin Sabad & the Laird as this is the first book they've both made. I can see a future for this!
