Creating a picture book for children was something I had considered for many years. But it wasn’t until I became a father that I finally committed to giving it a try. The result was a 32-page celebration of imagination titled Vander and the Red Balloon. Vander has since returned for four more adventures, each available below in beautifully bound hardcover and digital editions.
