This book has been a long time coming. I first wrote it in 2011, had a contract on it in 2012 but that fell through. So after that experience, I decided to try my luck at self-publishing. I was able to hook up with a local artist in my writers group and together we worked really hard to get my story finally published. This was only the 2nd book Deborah Forbes has done and I think she did a great job, don't you?
I'm proud of this story because it sends an important message without shoving it in a child's face. Denny is concerned about what color love is so he and his mother go on an adventure to find the answer. Of course the best way to get answers is to sprinkle a little magic into the picture so that's just what I did.
The Color of Love is available through me at allyn_stotz@yahoo.com, Mascot Books at http://mascotbooks.com/mascot-marketplace/buy-books/picture-books/the-color-of-love/, amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/Color-Love-Allyn-Stotz/dp/1631770195/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1438869796&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=the+colof+of+love%2C+stotz as well as Barnes and Noble, Books-a-million and other online retailers.
If you decide to purchase, I hope you enjoy it and I'd love to hear from you. I'd also love for anyone who does purchase a copy and has time to post a review on Amazon.com. Thanks so much!
