My son and I published through CreateSpace, which will print as few as 1 book at a time, and list it for sale on Amazon. They even provide the ISBN at no charge. We have sold copies on Amazon and have had extra copies published CHEAP (a couple of bucks each plus the shipping cost). You only need to be a little computer literate to do this yourself and save the thousands of dollars that independent / vanity publishers want to charge. The link to our book on Amazon is http://www.amazon.com/Investigators-Exciting-Adventures-Curious-Alligators/dp/1442108290/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277261239&sr=8-1 (or just type in Jeremy Whaley into the Amazon search window. The link to CreateSpace publishing is just createspace.com. Let me know when you get your book published, I'd love to buy a copy. Oh, also, if you want to sell to the schools and libraries be sure to get a library of congress number for your book before publishing, although with CreateSpace you can add it in later and just call it a 2nd edition.

When I was 12 years old, I weighed 65 pounds. I think I weigh about twice that now. Also, her mannerisms,and some of the challenges are shared by me. And, as far as I know, I am not -18. So, in my world, she is just like me (what an honor). I love the pictures and the stories, and I love that Lillian has the best mother in the whole world. Hmm, well, I am Lillian’s grandmother.

If you hunt around a little, you can get big photographic clip-frames (A1 or even A0 size) reasonably cheaply and with a sheet of suitably-coloured backing paper, your kid's picture will look fabulous, whether it's an 'abstract', a 'naive' or something more sophisticated. If you want to keep some of the others to swap around, an art student's portfolio case keeps the dust off, stops the pictures getting crumpled and can actually take up less space, leant aganst the back of a cupboard, than piles of paper on all your work surfaces!
