Freddy the Frog Gets Married came about when Granddaughter was 9 years old. I sat down on the floor to play with Barbie dolls with her and laid out my notes I had started and asked her if she would like to Co Author the second frog book? She loved the idea and I said this could be like a lemonade stand and you could earn money for your College fund. So, we took notes and she helped make decisions about design color and language. She designed the wedding bouquet for Rosie. She drew a scene for a night wedding in Grandma K's rock garden that I submitted to the illustrator. She came up with the idea to have each families' name start with the same letter. We both learned a lot about what goes into making a book, working with an illustrator and the Business that printed the book. It was the best experience for me working with my granddaughter and watching her grow during this process.
I wrote Frog in My Basement to read to my granddaughter. She would stay with us on the farm for a week every summer. She said she could dress herself one day and was having a snack using her tiny tea set. She was my little vegetable garden helper. She had pink boots and purple gloves with a pink wheelbarrow and pink tools when helping me to pick cucumbers. She helped me prepare the cucumbers to make dill pickles to can. Her and Grandpa K would try to catch a frog in the garden. She would go with Grandpa K to dig up her own potatoes using her tools. They were great memories of my time with her on the farm. I wanted this book to be for the grandparents to read to the little ones at bedtime so they would have sweet dreams.
