The fire breathing nose dragon....

He lives in a lake.

He puts fire in his nose and shoot in the air,

he shoots in the earth.

One olive baby got hit by the fire and bonked her head.

"Sorry"

They are friend now...

They dance happily together!

The end

This is a children picture book I did a year ago for my talented artist blogger friend Josh Billings to help and cheer his son Griffin Billings on fighting Leukemia.

Being an active, cheerful and creative little boy; he plays the drum very well, have faith despite of his situation and love to tell story during his free time. I am so encourage by him. I know that besides remembering him in prayers, there are so much I can do to show my support to him. And that’s how this book “The Fire Breathing Dragon” came to birth!

Griffin most recent news update is so encouraging, he was granted a wish from the Children's Wish Network to visit Sea World, Disney World and Discovery Cove. I am so glad to learn that he is doing well and with steady recovery.

For you all that are concern to help Griffin, you can visit here for more details and also here to read of his amazing recovery.

Just in case, these pages above seem familiar to you. Here was the project when all it got started last year.

My inspiration-Hwee Yong

My former lecturer Hwee Yong is my inspiration, she always encourages me. She had given me the opportunity to become a piano teacher and dabble with illustration. She is an accomplished Christian book writer in Malaysia.

She has written a few good books, there are "The special Gift", "Bayu Pengharapan", "Embun Pagi" and many more great books. I will share the details of the books in another post.

Today, we were having a gathering at a beautiful cafe and she treated me with nasi lemak....He..He!

She is sweet. Don't you think so? She wanted me to snap a few shots of her, she trusted me and was readily for posing while eat & drink....

I showed my latest illustrations for her to comment. She said that I had improved a lot....and looking forward to find time to work together with me on some children books one day.......

When is that one day?

She is as busy as the bee because she does preaching most of the time.

She was the one that asked me to develop The crab and girl I & II.

Children Book Collection

I love collecting chidlren illustration book.

Today, I am going to share with you a creative one.

It called "Good Mood and bad Mood", written by David James Shhen and illustrated by Roberto David.

It is about this little character who choose to respond to the extreme opposite "Good or Bad mood".

They have two story lines here. Full page illustration and minimal text.

I enjoy reading these stories again and again, even inspired by their true spirit to educate kids and adults in a meaningful way. They have also refreshed my mind to be positive each day:)

There are the four good books in a series, namely:

1)"Good mood & Bad mood"

2) "Sunny Day & Rainy Day"

3) "Funny & Scarry Dream"

4)"In the City & In the Country"

I am glad to discover and collect this full set of children book in 2005 while in search of art teaching material for my art students. Anyway one book only cost RM6.95, it's worth collecting!
