Never once have I thought about writing a children’s books.  I’ve always said to myself: “I should right a book about my life” because I thought that my life was interesting enough to attract people’s curiosity.  But a children’s book,  no way. Further, a children’s book that would reflect the ideas and views that we discussed in class.  The assignment was to write a children’s book that challenged norms, biases, steretypes, and other injustices that are sublty displayed in American society today.  For example, why are all fairy tale princesses. ballerinas, and every other prissy model that girls like always white.  Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, I could go on forever.  Or another example would be books that always have society gender roles in place.  By that I mean boys are in sports, and girls are playing with dolls. But that really wasn’t the challenging part.  The challenging part was coming up with something original that I could incorporate into the whole reasoning behind the assignment. And now I have an all new respect for individuals who are children’s book authors.  That was the most challenging experience I’ve had in a while.  A lot of assignments I got in undergrad were somewhat complicated, but none of them compared to this one.  Initially, I thought: “Wow, this should be fun and easy”.  Well ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you it was fun but not easy.  But, with the help of someone who is very dear to me (who is the main character in my book)  I was able to create a wonderful challenging story with great illustrations.  This dear person, who is one of my 12 year old patients at the hospital, is a always concerned about not having friends that are kids (since i’m her friend, but Im a grown-up).  So, I created this book in her honor!!  IF u want a copy, hit me up!!!
