3. Tell us about Your Special Recipeep?
The vision behind Your Special Recipeep is to have a book that mom and dad don’t mind reading over and over again. And that a child who was given the gift at age 4 will pick it up at age 12 and have the same warm feeling that comes with someone tell you that think you are special. With a fun rhythm and colorful language we put together a storybook style setting with a whimsical message tailored for each child. We wanted our characters to be fun and slightly odd (as we see ourselves.) 4. Who writes the story? Who draws the illustrations? I write the stories. I usually shape the concept that I want and then pass them on to my husband or an assignment writing service to edit and tell me what is lacking or needs to be developed. He is a brave man. My brother-in-law, Jay Herde, took a special liking to the characters of Your Special Recipeep and added a lot of wonderful touches to the writing. The illustrations for Your Special Recipeep were done by Jay, who is an incredibly talented artist and a big kid at heart. 5. Are you currently working on another book that can also be specialized? If so, can you tell us about it? Our current project is customized coloring books for a child’s birthday party. And our next book will be another personalized book for children that are expecting a new addition to their family soon. I am writing and illustrating it myself. Since I have had a second child I am able to pull from personal experience but, as you might expect, am also slowed down just a little bit. 6. How many more books to you plan to offer? We have two more books in the works after the coloring books. It seems that we are always coming up with ideas for other projects. In the future we hope to collaborate with other writers and continue to grow the Theo-Saurus collection. 9. What process do you go through to specialize the book once an order is placed? Once we receive the order, we change the text on the first page for the dedication. The child’s name is then added to the story. Finally, we change the art work for each letter of the child’s name. So for a name like Kim, she will have three full-color pages for each letter of her name and the corresponding attribute is incorporated into the art work. We are capable of names up to 10 characters and welcome specific orders if more letters are needed.
