Local author Denise Thayn and her grandson Gideon Smith are celebrating the publishing of the children’s book they created titled “Gideon’s Dinosaurs.”
Coupled with beautiful artwork, the book tells a unique and compelling story of a grandmother that teaches her grandson the alphabet. The title character, Gideon, struggles with the alphabet and phonetics, prompting his grandmother Denise to come up with a solution.
The book pairs dinosaurs, Gideon’s favorite, to the alphabet. The two work together throughout the story to creatively construct these dinosaurs in a scholarly way. Upon completion, Denise discovered that she and her grandson had a great story to tell.
With this in mind, the artwork was scanned and constructed into a book by Scott Yelonek, Peczuh Printing’s in-house graphic designer.
