In reviewing a children’s book yesterday I was reminded of my daughter who when she was quite young insisted that all living things grew up in statue and when they’d reached full size they began the process of growing down, eventually to infant size, then they grew big again. They repeated the process over and over. I’d asked, once, how she’d come to that conclusion but was never answered with anything other than, “Everybody knows the world works this way.” with a look on her face which told me she thought in my case my mind had grown down instead of my body size, for having asked such a foolish question. This and other strange theories are part of “Dragon Tales” a book I authored and illustrated.   nancymauerman.com
