To encourage others to write and pursue their creative art and talents as a career rather than just a pastime, I decided I wanted to develop an online community to inspire and share. I wasn't quite fulfilled with just this idea though. 

It needed more. 

As I often do at night before bed, I was telling my son a bedtime story when I noticed that the fable I was reading was very dated and lacked creativity and imagination. 

We've gotten most of our books as gifts or hand-me-downs. Please understand that not every story is amazing; some are average, and some—well, I'm not sure how they made it into the pages. 

Rather than passing judgment, I believed that by supporting children's creativity, imagination, dreams, and play, I could write my own stories and encourage other parents to do the same. And so, RhymeDad was born.
