 Mike - children's book project

In 2012 I went to University to study certificate III in children’s services. When asked to give a  presentation  on potential issues for children in the childcare setting. I opted to make a picture story book called 'Mike,'  about a six year old boy with a learning difference.  For my presentation I had my classmates sit on the floor while I read the book to them. Afterwards my lecturer approached me and asked if I would mind if she sent a copy of my book to her publisher. Of course I said yes.  Months later I received word. The publisher had said that the book was too wordy and that sorry, but they were not publishing children's books at that time.

Preoccupied by the birth of my second son. I  didn't  give it any more thought. Fast forward to November 2015 and I decided that it was time to give ‘Mike’ some love. I edited the text, added lots of  colour  to the pages and developed a Kick Starter project in order to self-publish the book.  So far my  Kick Starter project has not been a  success, but  I have  learnt  a  great  deal  from the  experience  and  I  hope to  re-launch  in  the  future.

Of course​   
 none of this would have been possible without my amazing, wonderful, fantastic and extremely photogenic son. I could not be more  proud of him and his endless imagination.
