In Kamille's Birthday Circus I tell the story of my granddaughter's first birthday, September 24, 2004. I was scheduled to go to Texas for Kamille's birthday. Hurricane Rita was predicted to hit the Houston, TX area the same day, and the flight was cancelled. My son, Kamille's father, was on call as a doctor and was worried about his family. Kamille and her mom traveled to the hospital about 30 miles away to be with him. They were able to bring Kamille's pets, 4 cats and a dog. Thus, Kamille's Birthday Circus was created. |

When my grandson Nathanael was born, February 12, 2004, we were so excited we rushed to Ohio from Florida bearing gifts, many gifts. All of his parents’ friends and family did the same. Everyone rushed to see him when he got home from the hospital, and of course, to see his room. My daughter , his mother, kept saying, “No more, please,” but it seemed to fall on deaf ears. Which is where the idea of Up In Nathanael's Room came from. At only 4 years old, Nathanael adds to the illustrations in his very own book and invites readers and audience to draw the things in their room. |

When Connor was 2 years old, he had to evacuate from his home with his parents, sister, pets and great-grandparents, Noni and "T". Hurricane Ike was heading for Baytown, Texas, in the late summer of 2008. His sister, Kamille, told him that the wind sounded like the roar of Tigers, Lions, and Elephants like they see at the zoo. Thus, Connor's First Safari was created. The second hurricane story, in what we hope won't become a series, was written by his grandmother, Eileen Erikson. The pretend safari story was created to defuse the fears of these two children during this weather crisis. It may do so for other children who could face this kind of situation on day. |

When Collin was only 6 months old, we bought him a little car that was like a stroller. He immediately liked the toy and wanted to go all over the neighborhood to show off his new vehicle. His sister and brother, Kamille and Connor, rode their bikes and he felt like a big kid being able to keep up with the family. When Collin Says “GO” is the story of one little boy and the world he shares from his precious little car. |

On June 6, 2018 our Klaire bear arrived and was a welcomed addition to the Erikson 5 household, now Erikson 6! Brother Collin prayed for a baby sister and sure enough to her parent’s surprise, she was born! Sister, Kamille, brothers Connor and Collin and cousin Nathan are featured in her book credited to Nancy, mother of Nathan. Aunt Mary added to the project by suggesting shirts for the children with pictures of the covers of their books for the new website. Enjoy the adventures of Miss Klaire’s birth, On the Day our Klaire Bear Came to Town. |
