The Tales of the Swallows

Inside the books, there are my drawings/illustrations. Before my drawings, here is something when did the book started: When I visit Mission San Juan Capistrano, I am taking pictures and exploring around the landmark in Southern California. Suddenly, I saw the swallows are in the mission. I heard some people say for every year, the swallows have migrated from the south to migrated to the north. Some other swallows made a new home on the barn, houses, and the other places around your neighborhood. There are some of the reasons why the swallows chose a mission.


When I got home in Rancho Mirage, I went to the library to study the missions and the swallows. I am taking notes to puzzle it for the story. It gives me an idea. I wrote down the book and the drawings. I pick some the characters for the stories and some of it had something to do my childhood. For example, the rooster was the biggest bully and it chasing me and never stops teasing me, the red rattlesnake was inside my treehouse and that scares me, and my favorite classic movie "Birdman of Alcatraz." It inspires me to write the book and it took me for five months to make an order of the story and editing. I hope you will enjoy my book.
