Picture Books
I read stories to my children, every night three to four books. I love this bedtime ritual: seeing their bright faces grow tired and fall asleep. Even though there were hundreds of excellent works, there were stories I wanted to tell Florence and Miles that I never found on the bookshelves. So I started writing and illustrating picture books for them.
