Tales From the Doll Room Book!

Christmas orders for Jemima's Storybook are closed.    Thank you, my dear friends, for generously supporting my first humble efforts at bookmaking! much love, Rose          Tales from the Doll Room is the result of a lifetime  filled to the brim with good and bad experiences, remarkable family, faithful friends, and all sorts of art forms attempting to interpret everything in between.    Writing a Storybook is a thought that has been drifting around  since those youthful days spent lying on the attic roof, making up stories in my head to while away the long hot midwestern afternoons.   Well, here it is...my first Storybook...               What a journey this has been.   Much different than dollmaking, that's for sure!   If all the kinks have been ironed out, I hope to begin mailing copies  somewhere around the first of December.   Just in time for Christmas! The book will be self-published. Which means the books will be ordered directly from the publishers on request...customer request. So, the turn-around from order to home might be a bit longer since I would like to handle the shipping myself for quality purposes. Most importantly, I want to personalize each and every Storybook before it opens up in your hands and in your Imagination.           Meet Jemima! She is a very Determined Little Girl who expects a Two-Wheeler  from her mother for her 7th birthday.   But, the elephant in the room is... the actions she chooses to prove her point  are exactly what is preventing her from getting her point across! Instead, she receives a toy elephant named Talulah who innocently turns Jemima's priorities upside down.   I have read this story to my own children, and the lessons we have discussed from it abound. Probably because using the visual and emotional aspects of dolls tends to get their attention! Jemima and Talulah's story demonstrate values such as... responsibility, respect, appreciation, consequences,  and above all...how you treat others often comes back on you! Gently illustrated by two very sweet little dolls.   The love of dolls and their World of Childhood transcends age, gender and culture. I think that is why we all love them so much... they help us speak the same language!             Would you like a look inside? Come along with me for a preview...
