It all started with a little paper project he cooked up a couple of months ago. He drew a picture of a man wearing a vest, holding the hand of a little boy. Feeling inspired by the man's fashion, he decided to cut and fold the paper into the form of a vest, so it's sort of a book in the shape of a vest that opens to a picture.
(The non sequitur at the bottom is Queen Amidala of Star Wars.)
He's quite proud of his creation and thought others might want to make one also. Hence the how-to book.
The book is titled Xavier's Little Book.
It reads: "Hi! My name is Xavier. I am in second grade.
This is my paper vest (above). It's one of my best creations.
If you want to do what I do, try this." Then there is a sequence of
how-to illustrations (good boy!). He closes with the feelings of
hope and gratitude I think every author feels: "enjoy! thank you!"
An author bio . . . very important to sales, I've heard:
"I wrote this book because I wanted to share
with the world and so others could have fun.
I was born on Feb. 11, 2002. I lived in
San Francisco in a yellow house. Now goodbye!"
I hope you enjoyed my post! Thank you for reading it!
