Okay, so let’s back up a bit. I was overly anxious to share a sneak peak at one of the pages in my new children’s book. Children’s book? Yes, I’m writing a series of children’s books. It’s a long story about how this came to be. Suffice it to say, DIVINE REVELATION.
Watch this book cover reveal of the first book which will be coming to you this December, Adam and Ava Trade Places.
Discovering life lessons through the eyes of six-year-old twins—Book 1
Book synopsis: Six-year-old Ava’s silly question to her twin brother reveals a not well thought out plan: “Adam, wouldn’t it be fun to trade places and trick Mommy?”
Come along for their adventures at school as they discover what can happen when a person pretends to be someone they are not. It’s a priceless lesson even adults need to ponder.
Below are the next 3 book titles in the series. These covers are just placeholders though. I will reveal the actual covers in 2024 before each book is released. Of course each cover will feature the bonafide stars and heroes of the book, Adam and Ava. Look for all 3 of these coming in 2024.
If you’d like to take a guess, leave a comment on this post with your ideas for what you think these titles will be about. If anyone comes remotely close to figuring out what any or all of them will be about, you’ll win a free copy of each book once they are released in 2024. Enter your best guess in the comments.
Oh, by the way, before I let you go. Watch this video. You will see a familiar face…
Yes, I have inserted myself into my children’s books. I am the twins’ mom. Just so you know, the main reason for that decision was to make in-person events more fun for my target audience. I will dress like the mom character whenever I visit schools, libraries, vendor fairs, or host book signings, etc. I think the children will relate to me on a more interactive basis if they see me “inside the book” and discover I am also the author as well. I’ve learned from researching children’s books that I need to really connect with my audience on their appropriate age level, so I took that very literally.
My parting words for this update is a sneak peak at the narrative for the animation that will be released soon. Yes, you guessed it. Not only have I hired an illustrator, but also an animator who is going to bring my twins to life. The animation will be a commercial introducing my new children’s books to the world. It will be released later this month. The narration below gives you a glimpse of my vision for the books. Just wait til you hear the narrator voiceover to accompany my “live” animation.
Come along for a playful journey as six-year-old twins, Adam and Ava Albright, unravel hot topics facing today’s young children. These inquisitive twins will discover valuable life lessons that will even serve parents well. Immerse yourself in their adventures with relatable illustrations that guide you toward solutions to every day challenges. These books are a fun and amusing way to capture the attention of children ages 3-8 while tackling issues even adults need to ponder—starting with Adam and Ava Trade Places, the first of many books featuring the adorable and innocent Albright twins.
p.s.
I have to give a shout out to my illustrator, Cassandra Harris. She has worked wonders to bring my twins to life. No children’s picture book is effective without the talented artwork of an illustrator who understands the author’s words and meaning of the story so precisely that they create pictures worth thousands of words. I call her my magician. We are on a mission to save the children!
