This will be a relatively short update on what's going on with Best Friend Books. Lisa has completed six more manuscripts, and I am working this week on getting as much illustrated as I can.

I'm currently working on two new books - "Small Things" and "All Means All," this latest title is a rhyming, child-friendly picture book that is an overview of the Bill of Rights, and what it means to be an American. This is sort of an extra title that came about because of the crazy political environment here in the United States and a desire to find a way to agree.

I finished a draft of the cover today. The artwork is based on folk art motifs from 18th century America. I will be using this style as an influence for all the illustrations for this particular book. It is actually a departure from the others in that we want a much more graphic feel. One that can easily be adapted for wearable art.

Here's the list of the additional titles, several of which we are planning on having available April 2017:

"Home"

"Next Day Better"

"Patch of Sky"

"This World Belongs to Me"

Since we have more titles, we have reduced the price of all our books to $9.95 — "My Book of Monkeys," the companion coloring journal for "How To Tame Your Monkeys," has been reduced to $6.95.

All our books are available at http://www.amazon.com. Visit our website for more updates, but for now, I must get back to drawing.
