Putting On The Kid GlovesRediscovering my inner childhood.

• I thought this book was going to be easy to write.• I was mistakenly wrong!• Getting the wording and pictures just

right.• Remembering not to alienate your

audience.• Children are primarily visual learners,

but like a great story to go with the pictures.

• I wanted the story to appeal to all ages.• Deeply philosophical moral to story.

• Don't judge other people.• Get both sides of a story before

forming an opinion.

Inspiration.Timeless classics that have stood the test of time.

• Classic Children's Novelists.• Maurice Sendak

• “Where The Wild Things Are”• Eric Carle

• “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.”• “The Very Mixed Up

Chameleon.”• Dr. Suess

• “Green Eggs And Ham”

• Checked out materials at the Cirriculum Materials Center at UCF

Piece By Piece, Layer By Layer• All characters composed of many

layers.• I moved each layer around to

create different positions and emotional responses.

• Used GIMP • An open source version of

Photoshop.• Does all the same things, minus

the $500 price tag.

Problems and Pitfalls Encountered.• The Race Against Time

• 40 Hour Project Time Requirement

• Busy Time Of Year• Halloween Week = “Party”

• Real World Commitments Interfere With Project.

• Became difficult to keep on top of other class due dates.

• Frequent Revisions To Story and Graphics.

• Re-learning “kid language.”• I'm never around children.• Researched classic children's

books from UCF's CMC center.

What I Learned From The Project Itself.

•Writing children's books is not easy.• Adopting “kid language” is

challenging if you're not around children often.

•I am a true perfectionist.• I make my art projects top priority

over everything else.

•People of all ages enjoy a good story.• Many positive responses from

people of all age groups.
