Everyday Goldi draws people. She must have a million sketches. Some are colored in with a POP! Others just smile at you because they have all the detail needed to impress the beholder. It was time to do something with all these drawings! So boys and girls, young and old, story lovers, … introducing

Handmade to Handheld Books are teacher authored and illustrated with artwork included by Goldiella. A former teacher, (me) created it and is the sole author. Goldi and I illustrate them using real to life picture scenes and drawn pictures. They are created with the kid in mind. They are for early readers. All of them have special notes to the readers to give them a traditionally published text with a similiar theme to be read aloud. This give them prior background and aides in comprehension. Also, there are listed choices for HOW the child will read the book.

Here is the first one:

Jesus loves Children

One day, we were walking along, and I looked up and saw this………

A singing tree! The first song, that came to mind, was Jesus Loves the Little Children.

“Goldi! We are going to make a book. I will write and you will help illustrate!” I said smiling under the blue sky.

“Are you sure?” Goldi said.

“Look! Look at that tree! It’s singing!”

“Yes, it is.” Goldi said smiling.

Soon we met other tree people:

They all agreed to be in the book. Then, we looked at pages and pages of friends that Goldi has drawn. She could draw a friend with her eyes closed it seems.

We “introduced” her friends with the tree people and …. we made pictures to illustrate how much Jesus loves His children:

Not only did we use words from the song, but we also used Bible verses using the Easy English Bible Version. It is a simple but beautiful translation.

Here is a peek at a page:

It’s a work of art. It’s a work of both of our hands. It’s Handmade. It’s for YOUR hand to hold!
