        Author Notes

        If You Were the Child is a children's book that shares a child's view of nap or bedtime. The idea for this book came to me one night when my husband and I had experienced an exceptionally drawn-out bedtime with our son. He was three at the time. Every time we would place him into his bed, he would find an excuse to climb back out and come find us. The commonality that each of these visits shared was one, distinct question: "What are you doing?" Finally he went off to bed and fell asleep, and I wrote this poetic story. At age five, I had my son draw pictures that would represent this story. Then we colored the pictures using MS Paint. And now our story can be shared by others.
