Writing a book and having it published is one thing, but receiving reviews, is quite another. Not all authors ask for them; however when it does happen, authors really do appreciate it, because let's face it. Writing a a children's book is a tedious process with all the details, dialogue, and nuances.

When I was in press for What Does Christmas Really Mean to You, it felt I was doing two books. One was focused on the illustrations and the other was just on the words! And then you have to combine the illustrations and the words together. That pretty much sounds like a third book! Don't even get me started about the rounds of edits. I guess what I am saying is that when you, the reader, look at a children's book or another kind of book, think about the hours that the illustrator, editor, and writer had to take take to make that one book. It's a long process of adding and deleting. I would say that that it is the closet thing to drawing the perfect picture. There are some details that needed to be added with different types of pencils, and then you have to remove your eraser to remove some lines or details.

 I have been blessed to have written and published three books, but most importantly, I have grown from each project. With this said, a few people have been gracious with their time to provide their feedback on the book What Does Christmas Really Mean to You. I would like to have more reviews of this book so that other readers are aware of it. I have placed one of the reviews down below from the amazon website.
