Roderick Red is the owner of Red Squared Productions, which specializes in video production and photography for nonprofit organizations, individuals, and corporate clients.

Rod works with me on a wide variety of projects, not many of them related to children’s book writing.  We’ve done freelance work together for Hope Enterprise Corporation and Hope Credit Union. I helped him realize his vision for a Mississippi-based hip-hop music video contest, The Cypher. He took the photographs for this site of Beth, Julie, and me. Rod is also edits and writes a column for the pop culture blog, CuetheRant.com.

Julie Owen, a librarian by profession, is currently writing, crafting, and making a home for her family in Baton Rouge. Julie helps me develop educational materials for teachers and librarians. We frequently present workshops on bookmaking at national and state conferences for teachers and librarians.

After developing the Fractal Pop-up Book, we piloted it at St. Luke's Episcopal School in Baton Rouge, LA. To read about and see photographs, click here.

After developing the Fibonacci Folding Book Project, we piloted it at St. Therese Catholic School in Jackson, MS, where she used to be the librarian. To read about it and see photographs, click here.

I created a guide that includes snail activities, writing exercises, and coloring pages.

 

 

 

 

The guide contains two coloring pages. One includes labels for the parts of the wolfsnail and the other does not.

We created a book form, based on a simple scroll book, called Wolfsnail on the Move. Click on the image below for a .pdf with instructions.
