Catalog of Books – 6. The Little Drop of Rain

Cover of the Little Drop of Rain

The Little Drop of Rain goes through the water cycle as a drop, a puddle, a mist, and a snowflake, all the while hoping to be able to stay and play with the children. Will the Little Drop of Rain get his wish?

This was the last formal book that I produced for Waldron Publishing. The very talented Tiffini Knight (from MT Knights) wrote and illustrated the book. I did the layout and editing. It was such a fun and rewarding project. And Tiffini was an amazing collaborator. I wanted to do a series of science books similar to this one. I even began one about a ray of light for photosynthesis.

I could easily see myself doing children’s books well into the future. There was something about the visual part that was just scratching a creative itch. Maybe it was the season of life that I was in. My children were ages 8 &1/2, 5 &1/2, and newborn.

But, soon after this book launched, I decided that everything about the company was just too much at that time. See this post for more information. But, that didn’t mean that I was (or am) done writing or creating.

I am so curious, what do you create? Is there a dream of yours that you still chase? Even when it seems like it has died? So, what other iterations of creation do you work on?

What do you think? I’d love to hear your ideas.
