​Design. Illustrate. Publish.

Table-top presentation of versatile fan-fold picture books.
A new kids' book can become a legacy lifeline between grandparent and grandchild. The book itself becomes a member of the family in its own way. It is touched by small hands and the words within are learned and read aloud for the first time. Then, for some time, it sits on the shelf always ready to be pulled down, opened-up, pages turned, story savored, then read again, and again. From one set of small hands to the next, the book find its way into a far-off future.
