Nathan in Color

Published by broussardlana on January 7, 2016

This is Nathan.  He is the main character from my book, Confessions of a 4th Grade Athlete.  I am thankful to artist Corbin Hillam for bringing him to life.  I tend to write a great deal for children, and really, it is that I always write what comes to me.  I believe it is critical to motivate kids to read, not only to be literate, but to also fuel their imaginations.  It seems even more important in our era of technology use.  I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to use my imagination in maintaining my WordPress blog and to be able to read the wonderful work of so many other talented writers, see beautiful illustrations from creative artists and amazing photography from photographers.  I hope everyone has a happy and productive 2016!

    Super illustration! Nathan looks like a lovable rogue. I definitely agree with what you say about how important it is to motivate children to read. I’m sure your book will go a long way in helping that! 😀

    Yes, it is so important to motivate children to read at a young age. Nathan is an adorable character! Congratulations on the book! I have a collection of children’s books.

      Thanks! It’s been exciting to see the characters come to life. I adore children’s books, I have some, and I read YA books also. I pretty much like all books 🙂

    Yes! Books featured in my youth and my children and step children were/are read to and read everyday. Julia Donaldson is the flavor of the month for my nearly 5 year old step – daughter. I wrote a story and created my own book (actually made it) for my grandson Seth. I would love for you to critique it here at http://www.storiesupnorth.wordpress.com/patrick-patene-pukeko. Happy New Year to you and your family. Jx

    Ohhh, he’s adorable! What a sweet illustration – draws me in (no pun intended) and makes we want to read all about Nathan. I’m working on my first children’s illustrated book (for 3-7 year olds). So much harder than it looks! 🙂

      Thanks so much. Yes children’s books are much harder than people think. If you are able to draw, you are way ahead of me. I wish I was more gifted in that direction.
