Code-Teaching Children's Books 
It's a brave new world out there,Really ? Let's take a pee ... Wow..... 

That's how is work
Now, You Saw Everything ...



  what really happens when you decide to write a book.

 Sketches from different stages of the first spread. Decided to make Ruby more active, outside the tent in the end.Illustration is the part, I had this idea about a diving penguin and a Richard Scarry style cut out underworld - took a lot of iterations :) 
idea about a diving penguin and a Richard Scarry style cut out underworld - took a lot of iterations

 understand that the messy sketches serve a purpose.They help to shape an idea. The sketches you see are from all over the year. You can see ideas evolving and being killed. For someone who comes from the web industry, where you deploy five times a day and things are designed for change, a book feels very final. The book is a representation of who I am and what I know today. Five years from now it would look totally different. I would actually love to see artists redraw some of their early books!

 This picture also was one of the first ones I imagined: I wanted the kitchen to feel full of life and color.

The words: importance of clarity 

I’m asked a lot whether I first wrote the text, made the pictures or came up with the exercises. Being the sole author had the advantage of handling everything in parallel, weaving a pattern that has all three elements.
Sometimes I would come up with new exercise, draw a reference to the chapter and modify the text. The beauty of picture books is that the drawings can tell a whole other story beyond the words.
Having a professional editor was amazing. Lauren helped me come up with a friendly voice for all the characters and structure the entire story in a new way. She was the one who suggested making the book twice as long, in order to let the story breath.

The exercises: importance of structure

and you need to create your Character , story, etc

let me share the story of

“El niño sin palabras” [ "The child speechless"]

 Mi cuento: “Voces desde el corazón”

 jaime was a different child. At birth his parents quickly realized it then, but appearance was normal, something inside was different from the others.In his first minutes of life, to put Jaime on the breast of his mother the baby showed a serene and happy look that was a true reflection of the joy she felt in those sweet moments. The really strange thing is that James never made a sound, even when the midwife slapped slightly to bring it into the air in your lungs.

Jaime also never cried to vaccinate. Even he did when he was two years and falling off the swing, they had to give points on the forehead. People commented that there was normal.Fue when his parents became concerned and visited an important doctor. After two weeks of tests and examinations, the doctor informed them that the child had no physical problem that prevented him speak, he should suffer some psychological disorder.So, again, his parents took Jaime Best Child Psychologist in your city. And after credit and go through hundreds of test, it came to the same conclusion as the previous doctor: Jaime apparently was a normal child. No one really knew why he did not speak."Words from the heart"His parents, grandparents, uncles and cousins ​​Jaime understood perfectly. Only look at him, knew what he felt his heart. His face was a reflection of his soul. That was the great virtue of Jaime: communicate with people beyond words. Similarly he understood others to interpret gestures, expressions and emotions.This was always the case, he did not speak but he did not need to be understood. Until that day. It was November 12, when James was 5 years old.  

It was raining and Jaime and his mother were walking, holding hands, the way to school dodging puddles on the ground to keep dry. They stopped at a traffic light was red and waited patiently for their turn to cross. That was when, without warning, tan dog ran across the road and was hit by a driver who did everything possible to avoid the frightened dog.Ilustración Chihiro Iwasaki (Pinterest). 

Jaime and her mother witnessed the terrible scene dumb. Without warning Jaime her hand from his mother and ran quickly to rescue the dog lying motionless on the pavement, while the rain fell over his dead body.

At such times, while holding the animal Jaime seriously injured between her frail arms, the child began to sing very quietly a beautiful melody, the same as her mother hummed to him as a baby. When at last the mother came to the scene and saw Jaime began to mourn. Cried in sorrow for the life of the poor dog. But also wept with joy at discovering how, for the first time, his son spoke.With all her love, her mother leaned over Jaime, and taking off his coat covered the animal that had expired his last breath in the arms of his son. Later the police came and removed the body from road dog. And once overcome the shock of the accident, Jaime's mother asked her son, as she held her small hands in hers:

 I -My son, what made you speak? Tell Me ...?


And Jaime, replied with such a loud and clear voice that did not sound like a child:- "Mommy, I have always been able to talk. I never did because I knew that the most beautiful words are those that come from the heart. But today my soul was so sad that she cried words of encouragement in song, for that poor dog that left us so soon. "From that day Jaime has not stopped to speak.Pero has never ceased to hear the words that are born from the heart.
