So I'm starting to design an illustrated book (like a children's book) called "The Boy Who Cried Love" about a little boy in the first grade. He learns about the concept of love and starts looking everywhere. There will be several cases of mistaken emotion and he will soon become disillusioned with the idea. Just when he believes that the whole thing has been a myth he meets someone. She is nothing like anyone else in the whole school and at first he ignores her because he is sure there could be no reason for her to be in love with him. But when he's out at recess all he can think about is asking her to play tetherball. The story develops and they end up walking around the playground holding hands every day. The boy is happy. The girl is happy. There may be a hint of the summer coming and school ending, but I don't know how the rest plays out yet. I may leave it a cliffhanger or a "to be continued."
I think if I do this right, it could be great.
Oh and the book too, that could be pretty good.
