Hello, it's me, Greg. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my picture book, This Story Is For You. The book shows two friends - and their dog - acting out a play together and reflecting on what makes each of them unique. The process of writing this book was very unique for me because the text for This Story Is For You began as a poem that I wrote for my best friend. I was thinking about her and our friends and how grateful I am to have people in my life that care about me, and who I care about so deeply. As a kid, my friends and I would write plays and act them out for our parents, and the stories would usually involve setting sail on a boat and going on a grand adventure, just like the kids in this book.
I hope you will share this book with someone you love -- and enjoy your time together.Greg Pizzoli
