The Top 3 Unique Ocean Kids Books Right Now!

11/14/2015

0 Comments

 
There are a ton of amazing ocean books available for kids today. As I was looking at the top twenty on Amazon, they were mostly about sharks and Mermaids. There is a new Jellyfish book available, however it's a novel and not a picture book.
Here are the top 3 books about the ocean that look pretty interesting to me. ​

The first kids book is about a Beluga Whale. This looks pretty cute and has some good artwork. It's ranked number 1 on Amazon right now.  


The second book about the ocean that looks good is a Shark book by Dr. Seuss. You can't go wrong with a book by the Dr.! :)


The third picture book that looked decent is called Three Little Mermaids. 

I haven't' read any of these, I am literally judging books by their covers... and reviews of course!
I created my own kids book that is called Addison's Starfish Adventure.
It's a cute story about a girl that wants to find starfish at the ocean. It's an ocean book for kids that discusses leaving animals in their natural habitat and also has activities at the back of the book for kids to enjoy!

The next book I make about the ocean is going to be about a Turtle! I already have the idea outlined and I am working on the artwork right now! I am really excited about the next few books I am working on.

Helpful tip: Use a pencil to outline your starfish so your child doesn't get frustrated or upset when drawing. Little ones can tend to be impatient as they too strive for perfection
The best way to teach kids how to draw a starfish is by creating a dot-to-dot.
Here are a few I created to make it easier for you.

I have been creating art for a long time and I am always getting myself into a new project.... okay- several projects. (Paint takes time to dry! :) )

As most of you know, I have recently published my first children's book - Addison's Starfish Adventure. Which is available on Amazon. Since I launched I have been receiving great feedback and support and I wanted to take some time and say thank you. 

On Tuesday, 9/30/14 I will give my ebook a way for Free! I am doing this on Tuesday only to say thank you!

Sign-up here on Facebook and join the event I created to remind you. 

You can also join my mailing list and I will send you an email reminder on Tuesday.

Thanks again for you help, love, and support.
Cheers!

working on a children's book

Over the past 2 years I have been diligently working on an idea I've had for a  children's book. My story has come a long way from when I started and I have really enjoyed the entire process. As an artist, I am always looking for new ways to express my self and be creative. 


Right now I am in  the process of having my book read by some friends and family prior to publishing and it's going great so far. I am receiving tons of great feedback and can't wait to move forward to publishing! This is my first book and it's been a great experience so far. Once I am finished editing the story, I am going to self-publish my book through Amazon.com and possibly print a few through Lulu.com depending on the cost breakdown. I am also working on more concepts for a few children's books in the future. Between that and getting ready for my wedding, I have a full plate!

In other news- Go Red Sox!

Have any questions, Feel free to send me a message. 
Cheers!

    I've been creating art in some form or another all my life and it's what I love to do. 

    I also enjoy playing hockey, good food, beer/wine, music and have having fun with friends and family.

    One of my favorite bands right now is Mumford and Sons.
