Through a Child’s Eyes
I was showing one of my nieces a picture from a recent trip. It was dusk, and there were birds perched in the trees in a beautiful park. She looked at the shot and jumped back in her seat.
“What is that?”
“What?”
“That!” She said pointing.
“Lamps?”
She laughed, relieved, “Oh, I thought it was eyes!”
And then I started laughing.
She’s very smart, my niece. She’s almost eight, and it’s obvious she’s got an active imagination.
It was in that moment that she showed me why I love writing for children. It’s why “Another Place In Time” and the Brubal stories have such a special place in my heart. Not only are they for families to share, but they also spark the imaginations of children — taking my visions and making them even bigger!
If I had to look into the future, I think I’d see a lot more projects for children and their families.
