I will work with you or help you... I have done technical and marketing writing and technical documentation.
I have a couple of friends who wrote a children's book but had a snag with publishing it. These days technology exists to inexpensively self publish. I can chat with them about their experience. My research advisor is also a celebrated writer, ditto. My daughter is an outstanding writer (I am adequate, she is good), who has been doing it professionally, and has been published, albeit in English (as have I for most part). I have a feeling you would like it in Hebrew. Over the years I have read a number of stories about Linux for the layman, which is not too different than a children book - it would make an excellent book for children, as it has elements of the little engine that could, of 'it takes a village', of david against goliath, and we can do all the drawings with penguins, which for some reason (happy feet?) children consider cute. We can even shade it purple/pink as a tribute to some of the community's esteemed members - or not. If you are interested, let me know, maybe to my personal email. And don't let the know-betters discourage you! Z. 2010/10/8 sara fink <[email protected]> > give them hands on with linux. talk with them as the comics show.
