Runaround Jack is the main Character in my whimsical children’s book, “What’s Beyond My Head” He is so engrossed in himself, it is hard for Jack to take his eyes off his coiffed nails and his beautiful tail. Is there anything beyond his nose? He is adorable but there just might be a world beyond himself!

  Children have always been delighted in stories where animals are the characters and  I love animals.So it made sense that they would find their way into my children’s books. Ones themes and concepts can be expressed through animals and can include moral and etiquette lessons.

In my book, “What’s Beyond My Head?”, Runaround Jack behaves in a a way that effectively allows a child to see himself behaving in a similar way.

At the same time, children remain distant enough to receive the message in a more objective way. It is easier to understand when a dog is not behaving well.
