Check out this homemade infomercial starring my daughter Skylar and son Sam.

Music by Seattle composer Ray Taylor.

Hi. I’m Todd Tibbetts. I work in the Internet business in Seattle, Washington. I wrote and illustrated these books for my son and daughter and nieces and nephews. I soon began to receive requests for additional copies from friends and family so I decided to make these books available online.

I’m using a service called Lulu.com which allows me to offer my books “on demand”. In other words, when you order one of my books, Lulu prints a fresh new copy and ships it directly to you...hot off the presses. Your money goes to cover the production costs, shipping expenses and taxes. Plus Lulu and I get a cut. Please consider buying a book. You’ll be supporting independent publishing and helping a family-owned, kid-friendly American business.

If you want to know more about the books and how they are made, check out the video my daughter Skylar made. It’s our family-produced infomercial. You’ll see my studio and some images from the books. All titles are 24 to 48 page picture books. Most of our prices are competitive with traditional bookstores, but some are slightly more expensive due to the details of the publishing process. But the quality is great and you can sleep well knowing that your few extra dollars goes to support a self-publishing, independent artist.

Stay tuned to this site for more books being launched in late 2009 and early 2010. Join our mailing list and my daughter will send you a note when we launch new titles. We don’t sell your email and we won’t send you a bunch of useless spam.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Buy a book. Save an artist!

• Floppy the Mophead was a little rag doll that came to life. He made himself a friend out of clay and set out to build a spaceship. But he didn’t expect to see the bad little boy with green hair.
• Estelle the Absentminded Telepathic can't quite get the hang of her supernatural powers. Then she wins the lottery. This book isn't exactly a kid's book, although it is totally appropriate for all audiences. It's just that some of the words are big.
• ABC Friends will allow you to meet some strange friends from across the alphabet including robots, aliens, hippos, monkeys and yaks.
• I Want A Monkey. Stella just wants a monkey for a pet and not a lizard or dog or horse or turtle. What is a dad to do?
• Baby Jam. This baby just wants to play music. Everything he touches turns into an instrument. Then the party starts.
• Sleeping Humptylocks and the Three Beanstalks. She just wants to go to bed. Why won't everyone just quiet down! This book allows readers to choose their own storyline and ending. Note: contains mild cartoon violence.
• Mopeyhead and Crankypuss are really, really mad...until they forget about being mad.
