About

I've been an illustrator for a long time, and have lately started to focus on promoting literacy for all age groups. My adaptations of Lewis Carroll's English classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland marry vivid images to the unabridged written word. This is the original word-for-word story that will suprise anyone who has only seen the movies, presented in a an innovative format that will engage even reluctant readers!

Story Behind The Book

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was the first "real" book I read in elementary school. It inspired me to think outside my little world, and fostered a lifetime love for reading. When I got my first opportunity to see a dramatized television version, I was dismayed to see it was NOT true to the story. My disappointment compounded when I systematically discovered there were NO accurate adaptations of this Wonderful little book! So I adapted this, my own all-inclusive vision of what I'd read that had opened my youthful imagination. I want modern, visually driven audiences to meet the true Alice, so I designed this accurate adaptation to appeal to as many people as possible. Readers and visual learners/'non-readers' alike will enjoy it! This is my opportunity to more accurately present Lewis Carroll's true tale of Alice.
