I was very proud to publish my first picture book, Drabsville to say the least, but the fact that the idea came to me over 30 years ago made it an even greater accomplishment. Writing and illustrating a children’s book was something I had always wanted to do. While taking an art education course when I was studying for my bachelors degree in art education, one of the options for a project was to write and illustrate a children’s book based on an element of art. I jumped at the chance and wrote and illustrated the book which is based on the importance of color and the primary and secondary colors. I was encouraged by several people including my professor, to submit the book to be published but instead I put it aside. A year and a half ago when I retired, I joined SCBWI, the Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators and decided to revise the text and illustrations and in Sept., 2012, Drabsville was published.
