The coolest thing is that like every dream is different, each illustration is different because they were created by artists from all over the world!

HOW THIS DREAM BECAME A REALITY

I decided I wanted my next book to be about T-Rextra's dreams. Thinking a bit more about my own dreams, I realized that all dreams are different, they usually don't look the same, and they often make no sense. I'm positive that's what T-Rextra's dreams would be like, too. That made me think that it would be really cool if all of the illustrations looked different, just like dreams do. It was then that I decided that I was going to take on the very difficult task of trying to get different illustrators to do one illustration each, in their own unique style, so that every one of T-rextra's dreams would be completely different. I put a call out on social media for any artists who were interested in participating in such a different kind of book; definitely like none I had ever seen before. I was fortunate enough to find 22 extremely talented artists from all over the world: Brazil, Bulgaria, Egypt, England, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Pakistan, Perú, Philippines, Poland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United States of America and

Wales! Once I had all of the works, I threaded them together and wrote the story based on the illustrations, not the other way around. I have to say, out of the 8 children's books I've written so far, besides the first one because that's my baby, this is the most fun book I've done, and the one I'm proudest of.
