Ode to Reading and Writing

Writing is an indispensable part of my life. Every morning I spend time thinking and writing. With each word, my thoughts are sharpened, refined, and given form. Over the years, this practice has blossomed into a prolific result, yielding over twenty books. From the profound task of chronicling a Holocaust survivor’s journey to celebrating my father’s life and exploring the depths of my art, writing has been my constant companion. The culmination of this lifelong endeavor is a three-volume catalog raisonné, a comprehensive archive of my artistic output spanning six decades. It’s a testament to the power of perseverance and the joy of creation.

What is a Flipbook?

Ribbit, ribbit! ?

Ah, my fellow froggy friend, let me tell you about the magical world of flipbooks! ?✨

You see, being a small publisher has its perks. We’re like the nimble tadpoles of the literary pond—flexible, adaptable, and ready to leap into action! ??

Now, imagine you’re perched on a lily pad, your webbed toes wiggling with anticipation. Before you lies a flipbook—a tiny universe of stories, waiting to unfold. ?

Flipbooks, my amphibious amigo, are like the froggy version of blockbuster movies. But instead of popcorn, we’ve got flies (much tastier, trust me). ??

Here’s the scoop: Flipbooks are best enjoyed on a full-sized computer or an iPad. You know, those big, flat rocks where you can bask in the warm glow of storytelling. ??

But beware, my little hopper! Opening a large flipbook takes patience. It’s like waiting for that juicy mosquito to buzz by—you gotta time it just right. ?⏳

Now, mobile phones? Well, they’re like tadpoles trying to climb Mount Everest. Bless their pixelated hearts, but they might struggle a bit with flipbooks. ??️

Once you crack open a flipbook, though, the real magic begins. ?✨ You’ll find controls below the pages—like secret buttons in a froggy treasure chest:

  1. Page Count: Keep track of your literary leaps.
  2. Quick Thumbnail Overview: Peek at the whole story in a single glance. ?
  3. Autoplay: Let the pages hop along automatically. Whee!
  4. Zoom: Get up close and personal with the inked critters.
  5. Full Screen: Dive headfirst into the adventure. ?
  6. Share: Spread the word like a froggy gossip.
  7. And more: Because who doesn’t love surprises?

And guess what? A whole lot of love goes into making these flipbooks. It’s like a frog serenading the moon—pure dedication. ?❤️

So, my web-footed friend, hop on over, click those buttons, and let the stories ripple through your amphibian soul. ?? May your lily pad be cozy, your eyes wide, and your heart as buoyant as a waterlogged leaf.

Ribbit-tastic adventures await! ??
