The question I most get having now written 5 books together with my kids is not about the characters or the dog or the castle or if Lu will ever stop eating fries.*
No. The question I get from parents is, How in the world did you manage to do a creative project with your kids, how did it go, and how can I do it, too?
The answer was:
1.) I just decided to do it,
2.) it went both terribly wrong and wonderfully right, and 3.) this book is how you can do it, too.
One parent pulled me aside, a bit frazzled, and almost threatened me with, If you ever hold a weekend workshop on how to do a creative project together with your kids, I’ll pay whatever you want to charge.
When I sat down with my then-8-year old on the red chair in early March of 2014, having just read a really bad children’s book and said, Wow, that book was pretty bad. I then immediately followed up with, We can do better than that. My son looked at me like I was crazy (I was) and challenged me to follow through on my dare.
I did.
Within a month, we had a book.
This book is proof that we can create something from nothing together with our kids. What you’re about to embark on is a journey that no one can take away from you. We’re going to create a time capsule you’ll be able to cherish until your 89-year-old neighbor finally tells you she’s deaf and hasn’t heard a word about it.
This book is going to help you create a bond with your kids.
* Lu will NEVER stop eating fries.
