About The Making Of This Book
This book was a project between myself, Danielle (Mama), and my daughter, Zehnya, age 7.
Danielle: Zehnya and I started this book after we f inished the seal book, mainly because pink is her favourite colour,
and because there were lots of great pictures of pink f lowers available online.
Zehnya: I picked the photos out for the book. We saved them all in a f ile (Mama has a template we use that has the
title and copyright pages already there, she created it in the open off ice drawing program as it's easy for her and me to
use). I put the pictures in the book using the mouse, “Insert, Picture, From File, and then clicked on the pictures I
wanted for each page.
Danielle/Zehnya: We identif ied the f lowers and then we looked up fun facts about the f lowers. It was lots of fun and I
learnt many things.We wrote the text in the text boxes on the pages beside each picture using copy/paste commands.
Then used the mouse to resize and arrange the pictures and text. When it was nearly f inished, we read the book
together to decide what was good and what needed to be changed. Then we edited the book together to make it read
well.
Then we read through the book again to check the content.
Danielle: I added the image list, and additional information on Breast Cancer at the end. And completed an editorial
check for grammar and spelling errors.
I did another f inal editorial check, then I created a pdf f ile from the book we'd made, and uploaded it to
http://www.freekidsbooks.org.
