Biographie de Joanna Blackburn

I look forward to captivating you from the beginning and keep you turning the pages until the end. From 2018 to 2021 I have been exploring other forms of art and realized it came easy for me and I enjoyed it.  But when someone would ask me what I make, I seemed to stumble with the words.  But if they asked about what I write about, I would talk their ears off.  During this time I learned more about the skills I have and should use in my books and articles. These four years have shown me that I have what it takes to create the books I started out trying to make for kids.  Let me explain, I was an Early Childhood Development teacher for many years.  I have taken more classes that pertain to children with special needs.  I wanted to create a book that I could illustrate and add sign language and ASL writing to.  Not only that, but I wanted something that would help the children learn these methods of communication.  I created this, but the publishing world wasn't ready for all that back then.  So I used my children's stories in the classroom during circle time.
  I drew the pictures and I created the stories,  As I acted it out I used hand signs for keywords and the children responded by actually learning these signs and so much more.  Hold on, here comes the shocker, these were two-year-olds.
