<\/a>It has been a thrill and an experimental adventure publishing my first children’s book. I am so thankful to my publisher and all who have encouraged and supported me in this\u00a0journey.<\/p>\n

The Creatively Imagined Explanation of Gabriel\u2019s Blue Giraffe<\/a> is an invitation to explore the maybe\u2019s and perhapses of the limitless world of imagination. By nurturing, igniting, and fueling the adventure of discovery and plain old making stuff up, it is the ancient\u00a0belief that we are created to create and expand our world into new worlds of thinking and inventing in partnership with our Divine Designer.<\/p>\n

\"Taljon\"Aside from just plain old fun, writing\u00a0this book\u00a0is my intentional effort to counter the loss and depletion of children’s imagination and recapture and mine the Gold in our\u00a0#\u200eNextGen\u00a0of Discoverers,\u00a0Inventors, Writers, Filmmakers, Problem Solvers and Artrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

My \"B&B&B&K\"Book Signing at Pasadena Central Library’s Author & Arts Fair was such fun. Honestly, I was overwhelmed with<\/p>\n

gratitude towards\u00a0all of the people that came out to support me and do a happy dance with me over the joy of getting my children’s book published and show\u00a0casing it’s debut at the Pasadena Central Library. Feeling like the newbie on the block to all of this, it is an honor to run with a tribe of authors that have accomplished so much themselves.<\/p>\n

Remember, today is a day to be creative!<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Maybe or Perhaps we could make stuff up and just use our imaginations today!”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
