I know exactly when I started writing picture books. Christmas Eve, 2019.
My husband and I were visiting our grandchildren (and their parents). My four-year-old granddaughter had a question about a painting hanging in her room. A painting I had made for her. "WHY did the cow jump over the moon?" In the middle of the night, I woke up. Perhaps reindeer hooves were pattering on the roof. There was a story in my head. A story about a cow who wanted to pull Santa's sleigh. I turned on my iPad and typed it. Later, I illustrated it and made a book just for my grandkids. I showed that book to a dear friend who is a media specialist. She said, "You should join SCBWI." "What's that?" I asked. And now I know.
