Tech Wizard Mike Gets a Coffee Making Lesson

Judith’s illustration visually conveys several of the themes present in my children’s picture books about friendships (Tech Wizard Mike Tales) and Technology Skills for Kids picture books:

  • methodical procedure
  • getting good help
  • note-taking

But something I missed in Judith’s sketch but was readily apparent in the finished version 🎨 is that the characters roles were switched.

(This illustration is based on a real-life incident as I actually had a heck of a time learning how to make coffee ☕️ and needed several lessons.)

The Tech Wizard Mike character also looks imperious 🧐 — which would be out of character for him (and the real-life Tech Wizard Mike).

I asked Judith to switch them and she readily complied.

Judith also thoughtfully changed the position and pose of Tabby Cat =^.^=

Good friends and great coffee make the perfect blend.
