New Book is in the Works!

I am currently working on my next book!! 

I wrote this story a few months ago, but summer got in the way and no illustrations were completed. 

Now, I am ready to go!  New Markers, new characters, and my creative juices are flowing.

What is the title, you ask? 

Well, it is Gracie's Glasses.

Is the book based off a quote, like my other books? 

It certainly is! 

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. 

 Henry David Thoreau

The story I try to relay in this book is that sometimes we don't always pay attention to our surroundings or see things from the other person's point of view. 

Gracie is a cat, living in an apartment with Lucy, the dog.  Gracie blames everything that happens to her on Lucy.  One day, Lucy teaches Gracie to look around and see that sometimes, it is her fault.  

Moral of the story, a sneak peek, directly from the book:

Lucy said, “You can’t look at the world from only one view.

There are others living all around you.

Moving and playing in different ways,

it is like we live in a giant maze.”

Gracie is now so happy, and truly understands

how the world is full of others, not just her demands.

The moral of this story, if you wish to discuss,

is that we all have different stories we carry with us.

So be aware as you walk down the street.

You don’t always know the story of the people you meet.

In the end, it took a pair of glasses to teach Gracie this lesson.  
We should all wear a pair of Gracie's glasses to see outside of our own personal view.
