This is one of the little videos that are in the iPad version of The Circus of Lost Dreams. While the PDF is nice, you really have to see the book. That is, if you can.
Emily and I just completed our first collaborative effort, which was published by the amazing artist, editor and publisher, Didi Menendez. You can actually download it from Itunes and read it as an interactive book on an iPad. Or you can get it as a pdf.
If you click on the PDF, it will just download as stills. But the iPad book has features that are unique and really fun--little videos and readings. It's pretty amazing to see what Didi has done with this.
While my hair was cut straight across my forehead,
