As a child art and books made my mind soar. Books set me free. Whenever I read a book with a character who looked like me (or whom I identified with) it settled in me forever. So important. As life circumstances unfolded I rarely used my Bachelors of Fine Arts, but art was always in my heart. Even as I pursued the medical field (Medical Laboratory Technician) art was always in the back of my mind. Now with Dynamo Flapdoodle it is my hope, my attempt, that my multicultural children's books will inspire, promote imagination, amuse, and help that one child identify with the characters. It's so important. Be extraordinary...read. By the way Church, fishing, and family these are a few of my favorite things.
