Everyone's been asking me, WHO, WHAT, HOW?
Where did this idea and character come from...
Today, I'm thrilled to take you on an extraordinary journey through the pages of "Roary the Radical Rainbow Raptor," a children's book that holds a special place in my heart. Together, let's explore a magical realm that celebrates the power of vibrant hues and the beauty of embracing our true selves.
It all started when my nieces and nephews, those little bundles of energy and creativity, bombarded me with a simple request: "Can you draw us dinosaurs, but make them super colorful, like a rainbow?" Little did I know that their innocent plea would ignite a spark of inspiration deep within my soul. Months passed, and that idea kept dancing in my mind until it finally took shape—a character that would capture the imaginations of young readers and take them on an unforgettable rainbow adventure.
Meet Roary, the Radical Rainbow Raptor! Picture a dinosaur overflowing with spirit and an unwavering love for all the colors of the rainbow. But Roary isn't your average dinosaur, my friends. Oh no! When Roary lets out a mighty roar, a cascade of shimmering rainbows bursts forth, painting the world with hues that dance and twirl in pure delight.
Also, a story not yet told... (so if you're reading this, you just unlocked a major easter egg).
Roary the Radical Rainbow Raptor isn't just a book about colors—it's an invitation to explore the magic of color theory. Together, we'll uncover the meanings and emotions behind each vibrant shade, nurturing a deeper connection with the world that surrounds us. Roary will be our guide, leading us on an enchanting journey filled with bounces, dances, and explorations of every color in the rainbow. And guess what? Roary won't be alone—there's a whole gang of colorful friends joining in on the fun!
But wait, there's more to this book than meets the eye. It's a tale that celebrates individuality, a quest to embrace our true selves, and a joyous celebration of the uniqueness that resides within each and every one of us. As we follow Roary's path, we'll discover precious life lessons—lessons that encourage us to embrace our quirks, let our voices roar without fear, and savor the kaleidoscope of emotions that colors evoke within us.
Creating Roary wasn't a walk in the park... I faced challenges along the way, moments of uncertainty where I questioned how to bring Roary's world to life in a way that would captivate the hearts of young readers. But fuelled by passion and armed with a touch of magic from traveling South America, I overcame those obstacles, pouring my heart and soul into every page and illustration.
So, my "Radical" friends, get ready to join me on a personal journey—a journey that celebrates the nostalgia of my own childhood, a journey that revels in the joy of colors and the power of embracing our authentic selves. Together, we'll unravel the secrets behind the book's title, immerse ourselves in the heartfelt messages woven within the illustrations, and catch a glimpse of the exciting future that awaits Roary and their pals.
