Tuesday January 11th 2011 @7:30pm ( Iza trapani author and illustrator…. info./ person to contact for children’s stories)

When discussing the option of writing childrens’ stories… at first when Ron and my mom suggested it i was a bit skeptical.. i mean i ‘ve  already blogged about how everyone and their brother wanted me to  change professions… and usually it was based on some ulterior motive…. actually a lot of suggestions I’ve been given have all had their ulterior motives…. some not so great… for my life at least…

but then when i kept talking to them….. it started sounding really pretty neat….  we brainstormed and thought of a great series….

 start of with  a family … a mom and dad who  could  help with the morals or lessons…then all the adventures for one or maybe all of the three children…. 

then we were going over all the actual  adventures that we as a family got to have…

like…..
travels to tree tops… or tiger tops …. or the african safari…. or  write a story about my younger sister’s  horse….. going from cart horse not using hanifa but lady oh as main character…   to a winner of gymkanias….

*camping trip  at red sea in Saudi
* dog with worms in brendize Italy
* barbie doll cooking and fire ( me and a friend Kathy…. )
* riding a yak on mount Everest
*taking a sharkara boat in Kashmir
* adventure in Australia
*India …. taj mahal
* bat in house in st. croix
*lay over shoping  in Paris
*nipper eating lamb roast
* car stuck in mud
shopping and seeing fountains in Rome… Gucci …quote…”I didnt come to Rome to see any …..'”

O course …. the illustrations must be amazing … add music or create songs…..
 to go with stories.. then of course my major point is to have a great moral… or lesson… and of course since it would be stories covering all over the world… must have geography lesson.. in fact we even thought of a cover being a globe… show casing each country covered in the story….

of course my mine went to marketing…. and after the stories .. the Pixar film… then of course all the merchandising… then even trips… like  the world perk trips… from neiman marcus… where you could create an African safari.. or go to tree tops or tiger tops… wouldn”t that be reálly great?…..
