The 7 Habits of Happy Kids


"The 7 Habits of Happy Kids," a picture book I illustrated launches today!

The book was written by the great and wonderful Sean Covey.

It was published by Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing.

Synopsis:
For the Seven Oaks friends, there is always something to do. Whether they're singing along with Pokey Porcupine's harmonica or playing soccer with Jumper Rabbit, everyone is having fun and learning all sorts of things. These seven stories show how practicing the 7 Habits makes this possible for the whole Seven Oaks Community.

From learning how to take charge of their own lives to discovering how balance is best, the Seven Oaks friends have tons of adventures and find out how each and every kid can be a happy kid!


The book is also available as an audio book, you can listen to a clip by clicking here.

The characters of "The 7 Habits of Happy Kids" book were integrated into Franklin Covey's "The Leader in Me" program.
Take a look at this awesome set of posters for use in school classrooms:


And this absolutely amazing web site, "Student SCHOOLYARD," created using artwork from the book!



Here's a promotional video of Sean Covey talking about the book.

The Fix-It Crew



I illustrated an educational book hitting bookstores March 1st.
It's called "Phonics Comics: The Fix-It Crew," written by Lara Bergen and published by Innovative Kids.

Innovative Kids does a terrific job with this line of books. If these were available when I was a kid, I would have raced to the bookstore to buy them. I love comics and I love children's books. It's a great concept to help kids learn to read.

You can buy this book at Amazon.com, your local bookstore or other online booksellers.

Phonics Comics: The Fix-It Crew
Price : $3.99 U.S. / $4.50 Can.
ISBN : 9781584766131
Age : 6 and up
Pub Date : Mar 2008

Note: I had to reconstruct the boxes and word balloons on the interior page because I couldn't flatten the actual book for a decent scan.
