Every so often, I will be Spotlighting a Creative Author.
It is not only the visual arts in which we can spread our passions,
but through every outlet of creativity.
And although since this is my primary resource I share,
I will be open to other authors I come across, but let's start here...
I just wanted to share this book with you that is quite a great book for children. As you may or may not know, I once worked for the privately owned studio, OC Art Studios, as an assistant art teacher, then lead art teacher, then as acting studio manager, and personally with the owner, as well. Larissa Marantz, my ex-boss and friend, created these characters called,
The Fuzz Budz.
In actuality, her daughter, Kela Marantz, invented these little guys when she was younger and her parents really thought she had something! So, The Fuzz Budz were born and her mom, Larissa, drew the pictures while her dad, Keith, wrote the story. Cool family, huh?!

Their first book, Dream-O-licious, introduces each cute character and traits of the Fuzz Budz. For example, there is Apollo the Rabbit who dreams of carrots raining from the sky, Arthur the Owl who is an artist, and Amanda the sheep who dreams of licorice grass, plus a few other ones too! I just love the whole idea and the next book Larissa has also developed an extended version of the characters in their own separate stories. And they are awesome! Can't wait to officially read them to Sage during bedtime. :)
