Several years ago, Children's Press published a series of 8
craft books written by me known as the "Mania" craft series since
each title in the series contained the word Mania, as in Cardboard Tube Mania,
Paper Cup Mania, etc. The books are now out of print, so I was looking for some
way to revive them.
My son started dating a wonderful girl from China .
When she came to our house, I showed her one of my books. She thought it was
great. She asked me if I would like to be able to sell my books in China .
Of course I said, "Yes!"
So, we collaborated, and turned one of the
books into a book of 10 crafts that are written in both Chinese and English
(She did the Chinese translations for me! My son did the illustrations!). We
are planning on marketing the books in China
sometime in the future (she has some contacts there).
Things are ready for
publication, yet, but I wanted to share one of the crafts with you, to show you
what we're doing and to get some feedback on our work. Here are two pages that
constitute one craft called BOOKWORM BOOKMARK. Please tell me what you think.
Thanks!
