<p>The question I most get having now written 5 books together with my kids is not about the characters or the dog or the castle or if Lu will ever stop eating fries.*<br><br>No. The question I get from parents is "How in the world did you manage to do a creative project with your kids how did it go and how can I do it too?"<br><br>The answer was:<br><br>1.) I just decided to do it<br>2.) it went both terribly wrong and wonderfully right and<br>3.) this book is how you can do it too.<br><br>One parent pulled me aside a bit frazzled and almost threatened me with "If you ever hold a weekend workshop on how to do a creative project together with your kids I'll pay whatever you want to charge."<br><br>When I sat down with my then-8-year old on the red chair in early March of 2014 having just read a really bad children's book and said "Wow that book was pretty bad." I then immediately followed up with "We can do better than that." My son looked at me like I was crazy (I was) and challenged me to follow through on my dare.<br><br>I did.<br><br>Within a month we had a book.<br><br>This book is proof that we can create something from nothing together with our kids. What you're about to embark on is a journey that no one can take away from you. We're going to create a time capsule you'll be able to cherish until your 89-year-old neighbor finally tells you she's deaf and hasn't heard a word about it.<br><br>This book is going to help you create a bond with your kids.<br><br>* Lu will NEVER stop eating fries.</p>
