Nick Watson is a freelance illustrator, and this title is his first independent publication. Reading to his son the last few years fueled him to combine his illustrations and love of writing, to accomplish a long-term personal goal of completing a children's book. Along with this title, Nick has upcoming children's books in progress which center around themes such as self-acceptance, individuality, open-mindedness, and kindness. These are the values that the author believes are key for children to practice in the crucial self-esteem building years.
