I love story books!
I grew up walking to the library several times a week. I never missed a summer reading program... and when I “grew up” I was the presenter for summer reading programs for countless libraries.
Obviously I love books...
But when I had my son there was a problem.
None of the storybooks looked like him.
Now I am a blonde hair blue eyed girl so there are thousands of books like me, but my husband is biracial his parents being from Germany and Africa, and our son is a mix of both us.
I found Goldilocks, or African safari... but I could not find any storybooks with biracial families. Obviously he can enjoy any book. But as I child I connected with the characters in the stories I read.
I wanted him to enjoy story books where he could imagine himself as the main character.
So in true mom fashion... I wrote a series of books! The Adventures of Little Scout. They are your typical little kid book with cute rhymes and fun illustrations... except the children are from multicultural families.
I hope to make board books in the future but right now I'm going the eBook route with a downloadable pdf.

My top five moments this week:
1. My babysitter did a photoshoot with my son while I was at work! Best surprise ever!
2. It was 80 degrees outside so we spent lots of time outdoors.
3. I got a $20 gift card for Shutterfly from a friend! Hurray!
4. Little Charlie broke his first tooth!

SWEET!! I'm all about story books with biracial babies! Would have loved it for me growing up. It's funny how I feel the same way about books and dolls, etc for my baby girl. i want to find things that look like her (which is very hard!) Great idea and service to others to just come up with your own!
