My name is Phil Thomsen, I am a graphic designer and I have assembled a number of Tara's fables for print. But during the development of "LAKE" my three year old grand daughter Alyvia Davis wanted me to read her the story, my only problem was I had not Finished the story. She was rather upset with me because we couldn't finish. She kept asking me "why were they all looking into the lake" at the time I did not know myself. The next time Alyvia came to the house she asked me if I had finished the story? She wanted me to read it to her right then. This was my chance to finish reading the fable and answer her question. After we finished the book I tried to explain to her that to see yourself you need the help of another, like how your mom and family help you, the lake helps the animals see themself for who they are. After we finished, Alyvia said "thanks Papi for reading too me."
