I think it is very nice. I love the obey and do it with a happy heart. I love the colors in the pictures as well. At first I did not understand what the child was saying at the end. Take care of yourself.

Ok, only being honest cause I know that's what you want, Vincent. I really like it. Great concept, cute characters, and great helpful end (answers a question). If you're asking for advice on publishing, then I'd have to go a little deeper. Something is missing. Possibly adding background? Also, what age group were you thinking for this? Eli's? Bryar's? Makes a big difference. The story could possibly be made a little deeper for a little older child--4 or 5 ish. Just throwing out ideas really. I think further. You don't have to publish this, btw.

Appreciate your suggestions Carey. The target age range would be 1-4 yrs old. What thoughts do you have in order to go deeper. I will be adding Biblical verses at the end of the book so that parents can use them to teach older children about obedience.

very cute! and creative as usual. what was the box at dinner time?

also, all capitals can be good, but, as an educator, i would prefer you use upper and lowercase proper english (unlike mine here). but this would be a big change in the dynamics.

    D'Log

    D'Log or Design Dialogue is simply a collection of current affairs I follow and / or observations I make about things that interest me (mostly matters related to graphic design, user experience, etc.).

    All blogs are now at Blogspot.


    I am a self-taught graphic designer and have always enjoyed learning by doing.

    Below is a list of books I have read throughout my career, many of which have inspired most of my design solutions and thoughts on visual communication.
