A while ago, I wrote a couple of children’s books—simple little things for small kids. Publishers weren’t interested, and I hadn’t found an illustrator. Here’s one of them, with AI illustrating.
This is Norman.
‘Hello!’
Norman is blue.
‘No I’m not!’
Um, Norman…
‘I’m green! And green is great!’
‘Green is the colour of tall, strong trees that I can climb.’
‘And green is the colour of the MaxScooter3000 - the greatest scooter in the world!’
Norman. Listen. You’re not green.
‘I can be purple!’
No, Norman…
‘Purple is the colour of the new shoes I like!’
‘And it’ll be the colour of my super-duper birthday cake!’
Today is Norman’s birthday. All of his family and friends are coming over for a party.
Look at all of Norman’s presents…
Time to open presents.
Norman is excited. He opens a small present first…
‘Oh. I’m blue.’
Yes Norman. You are.
Blue is the colour of the sky, which is big and beautiful. It’s where you can fly.
And blue is the colour of the ocean, calm and deep. It’s where you can swim.
Being blue is excellent. It’s what makes you you.
We love you Norman.
‘I love you too.’
Happy Birthday Norman!
