Poetry Book
This is a tiny book that I wrote, my dad illustrated, and my friend Joe Hutchison formatted. I wanted to make a tiny book (it's about 11cmx8cm) that could fit in your pocket and take around with you that was affordable and practical. It was made with a lot of love and I hope you enjoy it.

about

I've always wanted to make a tiny book that people could carry around in their pocket. This is that book. I just woke up one morning and said OK I'm just going to write about my life. After I did that I called my Dad and asked if he could doodle to the poems. He did that and now we have a book for you. I hope you like it.

Once that was done I couldn't not make a little audiobook for my little book.
