It is still a picture book, a poem, and a song following the theme of READ, PLAY, SING!! Meet PJ who will show you many more outdoor and indoor activities for you and your friends. PJ will also highlight the National Holidays for a few of the activities. Now you can sing the sing-along song with the QR Code inside the book.
My first published book is title “Father Knowts: Being a Better Father on Purpose”, a knowtbook that encourages fathers and sons to talk more and write down the key lessons learned from each discussion and each experience. It is all about shaking the trees of tradition and bringing the family closer together. Readers have shared that “Father Knowts” is beneficial for building relationships with their daughters as well.
I have always been a fan of children’s picture books. As an adult, I’ve always wanted to write a children’s book and finally – dreams do come true. Once upon a time, there were no video games, no cell phones, no computers, and no social media to trap my siblings and me in the house. We always asked our parents – “Can We Go Out And Play?”. Which is why I named my first children’s picture book this. Many outdoor games and activities have always been fun and exciting.
That's me!
