Inspired by Raymond Briggs' stories like The Snowman and Father Christmas and movies Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, I've decided to make my stories big, leatherbound books told through just beautiful pictures - images speak louder than words, you know, and I've decided to make the stories wordless, just like in 'Midwinter Night's Dream', a story from Shirley Hughes' 'Stories By Firelight'. I adore Midwinter Night's Dream because it's like a Fantasia segment you can read about - a boy discovers a mythical world outside his bedroom. I use music as my inspiration, so it's no wonder I decided to appeal to those who can't understand conflict resolution and mutual response. I'm also talking to autistic people who cannot talk, most people who cannot talk can't read, so writing my stories without words can immerse readers more into the stories.
