Thank you Alan Greer!

I met Alan when he headed up the band Spotty Dogg which now has broken up, but he and Jamie are busy organizing a whole new music act. I can't wait!
To Alan for helping us and being a wonderful friend, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!

Sipke's Son The Story of a Friesian Colt

8/24/09

Rebecca Dennett, illustrator and myself Ruby Wooten author, talked a lot about creating a children's book. I kept throwing ideas her way, one in particular was about a funny little farmer with his jolly animals, but it just never got past go. So one day I said Reb, how about we create a book about the Friesian horses that you love so much? Well... that did it. :) I immediately set out to write the story. I imagined it all in my mind watching it like a play unfold. I began putting it all in words searching for just the right words and making them flow. As I shared the words with Reb she began to bring my words to life. Everything I felt as I was writing she amazingly captured in her drawings and pictures. Together we wrote and illustrated each page of our book with passion and love.
We hope that everyone will enjoy Sipke's Son as much as we did creating it. Not only are we author and illustrator but we are also the best of friends.
Happy reading!
