Closer to the window poster/book display

In the darkness of the night, The familiar feeling, Arose from the depth of his soul, What is it that causes children to fear the night, Do they sense something, We have long ago forgotten, What is that feeling of beckoning, Tugging on their hearts, Their fear draws them closer to the window, Something they don't understand, pleading with them, Listen to the wind, Do you hear the howling of the wolves, In a song that opens a door within your soul, Can't you see the lightening, drawing you pictures in the sky, Cant you hear the thunder cry, Pleading for you to listen close... The darkness tells him a story, And the fear of the unknown, draws him ever closer to the window... This is a poster book display from my upcoming book Fairy tales in the land of tomorrow. Here is what my book schedule looks like… Earth prayers Angels And dreams… Available March 14th. The angels Awaken July 4th. Fairy tales in the land of tomorrow..- October 1st 2008…dates are approximate,I also am working on a childrens book,but the date is undecided and I have not thought of a title yet.Thank you so much for viewing my work!!!

This image is breath taking. The look on the childs face shows all the emotions of youth in one image. Very well done.

I love children's books and am very impressed by fine art and eloquent writing. Writing for children be very difficult especially when writing on several levels like The Little Prince, Wrinkle In time, Phantom Tollbooth and the fantastic fantasy series by Ursula Le Guin, The Earth Sea Trilogy. I can list on and on, but wanted to comment on your impressive "fairy tales in the Land of Tomorrow." It sound fascinating. Children are drawn to the unknown with a sense of wonder and there are books are a great way to help them learn to cope with their fears. I have a collection of many that I read to my son and have collected for myself and my clients. I wish you great success with your writing. This is a fantastic poster book display from what seems like a very intriguing book with a great title. Let me know when your fairy tales are available.

Artist Reply: Thank you so much Julie,Yes this is a fun subject,for me because when I was a child I had a very strong fascination about the dark,and even though I was so scared of the dark I was even more fasinated and curios and I could not help but stare out the window scared to death listening to the wolves at night,and watching the ligtening storms,Something so magical would fill me with awe,I still love this feeling,a mixture of fear and amazement,..My book Fairy tales in the land of tomorrow will not be out for about 4-6 months,but my book Earth Prayers Angels And Dreams will be out in March,And I hope you will pick up a copy,There is a special thank you for you on my dedication page.Thank you for your encoragement!!!
