Product Description Meet Drake from "Drake." "Drake" is a book in the "Robert," "Franklin," & "Drake" series about three friends, and their unique perspectives on their adventures together. These books are set up to tell the same story, but from each individual's perspective. Similar to real life, each is a protagonist, and others are the antagonists. While no individual has bad intentions, how they appear to act is as much a part of the individual who experiences it. From the Author The desire to write these books came from the idea that a character who is a sphere would have a hard time staying still, while other shapes would have other personalities.Having lived and worked with many whose minds tend to wander; setting up a story to tell all three sides was something I wanted to try.  These books are intended for children between 2 and 5.  Since kids like reading the same books repeatedly, telling the same story from three different perspectives can help them understand people.  As the books are intended for children, and to be read more than once, the hope is for parents to read all three to the children and compare how the different characters interact.

With improved computer and software capabilities, I am able to fill both pages with the images, further immersing the reader in the story. While this may have been done on beloved movies by a certain filmmaker, I want everyone to know that I fully respect each character and would not change their personalities. (i.e., Han would always shoot first) Those who have purchased Edition 1 of any of the books now has a rare copy that might someday be coveted and worth a fortune. About the Author William C. Wheeler is a new author and illustrator to the children's book arena. The books developed are based on the idea that a single series of events is experienced by different individuals in unique ways, resulting in unique stories and settings. Creating the story involved setting up scenes and story frames that allowed all three characters to interact. Part of the challenge was setting up a story where all three characters each had an equal part.  The other challenge was creating scenes where the placement of shadows reflected how the protagonist felt, without contradicting the other characters and their feelings.
