This is one idea I sketched to inspire kids to build their own clubhouse.
I tend to jump around in my work from painting beaches to drawing the figure to writing. I have promised myself to get this clubhouse/playhouse book out into the world before the end of the year, and I have found the world of non-fiction bookpublishing to be quite fascinating!
My next step, now that the book is more or less complete, is to find an agent and/or a publisher. I originally was thinking of self-publishing this book, but there is too much confusion about that these days to be worth it.
I recently finished writing Part 3 of what I now call The Clubhouse Book. This section explains how to get the right tools, find cheap or free materials and build a clubhouse. It is aimed at any 10-year-old-and-up kid or any adult who hasn't built anything before. Below are a few of the drawings from the book:
Suggestions for planning...
How to use tools...
How to build that first wall.
I am getting ready to send out query letters to publishers. If anyone out there knows of a publisher who might handle this kind of a How-To book, let me know!
