I’m rewriting a Paul, Anna and Iva Lou the dragon story called, “Superman And The Bad Mermaid Queen” (with a picture sample below). I always have a lot to say, and even more to imply, in my picture books and consider them similar to old fairy tales in that regard. I call them bed time novels for kids and adults, with pictures.
I’m constantly carving my words down because only a limited number will fit under an illustration and it seems to take just about as much effort to make things small as big. During this process of making several big ideas fit into a few words I eliminate many. Amy, my computer magician, calls me in this phase, an anti- author. See Amazon.com  for all my books.   nancymauerman.com
