Desire to Inquire: Children's Books

"There's nothing quite as special as a favorite book that your parents would read to you - with all the voices- before bed. My favorite part- my parents would make the stories up - these adventures have stayed with me and long to be shared"

Ok, so another creative arena I'd love to take part in is
{children's books}- both as author and illustrator. I have had several manuscripts and dummy books collecting dust on my shelf for several years now. Time to dust these off??

The worst part? The lead character is a penguin (adorable i know!) but I guess I was ahead of my time. Now that these lil cuties are such a hot item, will my book be lost in the sea of "just another penguin"?

My Universe question: How can so many bad books get published and be on the shelves of Barnes & Noble yet it is so ridiculously difficult to get a book published (so I'm told)?
- why do i let this deter me?-
- how do you succeed without all of your money going to publishers? -

Children of the world: Hold tight, the cutest lil penguin story and other animal adventures will reach your lil hands in hardcover eventually!

Another avenue: Book Cover design
This can make or break a sale as consumers are drawn to eye catching covers. Anyone out there looking for design, I'm your gal! I already have one published book under my belt.
