The Lamby Show!
Ok, now Lamby, do a spin……
Since I was a child myself, I have loved the mystery and strangeness of the imagination. I think I have always wanted to, and thought I would, write children’s books. I did write a few as a child… I had something of a medium grayish, dark sense of humor. “Windy day”, in which a little girl gets blown away by a jolly cloud of wind being one of my earliest “books”…
So then one day, sometime in my college years, “the Lamby Show” happened! It is an entirely true story, I just tried to capture it as it was experienced. We were at my parents-in-law’s house, visiting with friends of theirs who had young children. Their adorable little three-year-old daughter was playing in the other room with a large, decorative stuffed lamb. When the parents started getting ready to leave, the little girl was all worried and excited, and she insisted we see the LAMBY SHOW!!!
So, thus it was written and illustrated, based on true events. I’ve printed it a time or two over the years, and now as siblings and friends are starting to have young children, I am bringing it out again!
This edition is a spiral bound, 8.5X8.5 black and white (coloring) book. The words to the story and the cover page are hand written with crayon. There are 15 original illustrations in the Lamby Show. (It also might be fun to take the book apart, before or after “coloring” and decorate a child’s room with some of the pages.)
If you would like to have a copy, while supplies (and motivation) last, and before they are all distributed to nieces and nephews, e-mail me: ruthiesuniform@gmail.com, to make an order, (I’ll try to put it up for sale in my “shop” too). The cost will be $25, (including shipping if needed). A lot for a coloring book, I know, but it takes me a little while to put them all together and to hand make the cover page, and I like to give each one a personal touch! (Young audiences be warned, the story is funny, but also a little bit sad).
Also, let me know if you know someone who can help me to actually get this book published! Thanks!!
Much love to you and to all of your imaginative little ones,
Auntie Ru
