Description: The question I most get having now written 5 books together with my kids is not about the characters or the dog or the castle or if Lu will ever stop eating fries.*No. The question I get from parents is, "How in the world did you manage to do a creative project with your kids, how did it go, and how can I do it, too?"

I then immediately followed up with, "We can do better than that." My son looked at me like I was crazy (I was) and challenged me to follow through
