Book I've been working on

I've had a children's book in my head for 10 years.  I wrote the story years ago, taken from Family History accounts.  I wanted GOOD pictures to go with the words, and even considered hiring an artist.  It has nagged at me for along time, and I kept putting it off.  It wasn't until my good friend Sherilee told me about the great AI (Artificial Intelligence) pictures she had created using Microsoft Copilot that I thought I may be able to get something to work for me. Last fall when we stayed at Sherilee's cabin near Sundance, we played around with Copilot, each of us creating pictures to go with our stories. It was amazing, and fun, and frustrating !    

This past week Sherilee and I went to Roots Tech in Salt Lake.  There was Sherilee's book front and center that she had created using a program called LORE.  I became really excited, and knew that I could do this myself, as I have made many books using Picaboo for my grandkids.  In the last few days,  I finally put the words and pictures together.  The original name of the book was changed (with much reluctance on my part), and "The Adventures of Will Dickson" came to be !

I reached out to my sister and cousins, and they were very interested in getting a copy.  I plan to give copies to my grand-children soon.  

I put the pages of the book (a generic version) into a video - click here to view.
I hope to create more books this way, to bring our ancestors to life :)
