As back to school season looms around the corner, and I get my youngest son ready for 4th grade, I realize it’s time. Time to get back to my picture book of the month posts. Sadly my sons have moved on from picture books but thankfully I haven’t and never will.
I'm a print designer by day and a children's writer during every waking and dreaming moment. My Head is Full of Colors is the book that flipped the switch for me. It was because the Author was telling my story and the illustrator drew everything that was in my head as a child. It’s the story of every child whose mind is wide open to the wonders of the world around them.
Anyone who's read my Bio know how much I love the designs incorporated within the illustrations. I cherish my 20 year old copy of this book which was originally bought for design reference.
The story this book tells about a creative and imaginative little girl is wonderful. The mother is wonderfully supportive & embraces the fact that her daughter sees things differently. Maybe one day i’ll have the privilege of meeting this Author or illustrator. I hope this book is still in stores, if not it can be found online at Amazon.
My head is full of colors by Catherine Friend & illustrated by KiKi
