"I’ve been thinking back to when my own kids were picture book age. There was daycare, babysitters, weekend walks, big wheel races down the road, afternoon naps, kite flying, baking cookies, preschool, kindergarten, then first and second grade, swimming lessons, special outings, special occasions, family gatherings, LEGO sets, lots of LEGO sets, soccer. And there were picture books, stacks of them all around the house, ready not only for bedtime reading but story time any time. It was during this period when I began writing about Samson. My kids were Samson’s first readers. Over the years, the story grew and changed, revision after revision, query after query. With my sons now grown, busy with family, careers and new challenges, my empty nest is now happily busy with my new “baby”, a picture book that they helped inspire, nurture, create and celebrate alongside me. Now I can gratefully share Samson with my new grandchild! What fun!"
