Over the course of nine months I intend to design and compile one children's book. This book is a combination of text, photographs and illustrations. By the end of nine months this one children's book will be ready for publication. The book will be ready to submit to established publishers or a self-publishing firm.
I completed the children's book I have been developing using Adobe Illustrator. I grew in my knowledge and abilities with the program. I've attached the completed book content to this report. It certainly is not ready yet for publishing, but I'm on the right path.
