Ever since his days in the book trade, Dave has loved children’s picture books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most parents are unaware of the detail and thought that goes into each book. The attention to fine detail to capture a child’s eye with small elements on the page; the pacing of a story at the right speed for younger readers and of course the right subject matter to keep and maintain a child’s focus, but without stimulating questions too soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave has three grandchildren ranging in ages from 3 to 7 and he has always encouraged reading and a love of books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now with Amazon on-demand printing and the power of generative AI, Dave is exploring the world of children’s picture books as an author\/illustrator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Aiden Saves the Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aiden loves all types of planes, but especially the bright red stunt planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day, his Grandad Dave takes him on a surprise trip to the local airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst there, Aiden meets one of his pilot heroes and then saves the day by finding a missing lucky scarf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the regular outings of Grandad Dave and his grandson Aiden, this picture focuses on the delight of a child watching world-class aeronautic displays, such as The Red Arrows<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
