Sonny Fenwick is an artist, an art car creator, a bubble performer, and a self-published author. He drew upon the creativity of his art car as a focal point for a series of children's books. The first in the series of adventure and learning books is "The Bubble Truck goes to the Moon."
Through his real-life adventures with The Bubble Truck, Sonny has had many wonderful experiences. He has traveled across America making bubbles at a wide variety of venues, including children's hospitals, pre-schools, art car shows, city-sponsored events, parades, and private birthday parties. He created his own publishing company, Happy Happy Joy Press, to get his message out to children. This puts Sonny is a different category from traditional authors. He has all of the responsibility of creating his books, from hiring an illustrator to creating the cover design to marketing them. Sonny feels this gives him more understanding of the life of a book.
Sonny is now sharing his knowledge with students during school visits. Believe it or not, many people never meet a writer until adulthood. Fortunately, times are changing. Students today have the opportunity to meet and talk with authors in their schools. Having a writer visit their school can open students' eyes to the realities of the writing process, the wonders of the world, and perhaps even to the possibilities of writing as a career. Sonny's visits may include talks on his writing process, the creation of an art car, or the science and art of bubbles. There should be scheduled time for the students to experience The Bubble Truck hands on -- that is, outside. The children will get to experience a truly one-of-a-kind creation.

Thank you.
