First Pictures From My Upcoming Children’s Book

So yeah, about 2–3 months ago I said I was writing a children’s book that I talked about here which was inspired by a blog post I wrote here.

Well the book is almost done … we have gone through like 4–5 rounds of edits (gosh who knew writing Children’s books would be this hard!) and it has been a fun experience … but challenging … because you have to think like a child to really write a good children’s book (hmmm that could make a good future article).

Anyway all that is left is primarily the book illustrations which are being colored-in as we speaks. And I thought it would be awesome to share some images with you just so you can see the progress and also give some feedback about your first impressions about the book.

Also before I forget, I will be in Nigeria sometime next week (please Kidnappers hapu m aka … ego adiro!) and I am scheduled to do a book reading at Terra Culture on the 27th of December in Lagos. I hope to meet and hug people that buy my book some of you on that day. I will send more information as the time nears…oya see the pictures below, I have to go and pack now…

PS: Christmas is coming, I want us to do something special … very special for someone deserving. So please let me know if you know anyone … student, entrepreneur … all round good person that deserves some financial help/relief this season. Drop their story in the comments below (you don’t need to use their names here) and I would select a deserving person on persons! As always your recommendation or story should be about someone else and not you.
