Love Bucks is a short book of 75 cartoon drawings on #10 envelopes that were given to my daughter for her allowance. Having shown the envelopes to several friends over the years they all suggested I publish the collection as a book. I liked the idea in general but it was only recently that the context of how to put it all together became clear. Since I created these gifts for my daughter during a time of divorce, the book has evolved to be about how parents can connect with their children in creative ways during times of challenge.
