A few months ago, Vincent, my seven year old son, got it into his head that he wanted to write a chapter book. He spent most of a weekend writing and illustrating a thirty-five page book, which he titled The Mystery of the Golden Book.

His idea for a story sparked my imagination, and we decided to work together to turn his book into a full-fledged story. You can see the result below!

This was my first attempt to write something aimed at a younger audience. To my surprise, I had a lot of fun with this project. It was incredibly rewarding to watch Vincent enjoy seeing his story turn into a polished book that other people can read.
