I wanted to experiment with combining photographs with art work. The photographer Norma Holt shot the playground photos in black and white, and the Swiss artist Etienne Delesert illustrated the Secret Seller's colorful secret world. My son, Ken, played the little boy looking for a secret. It was fun for all of us, but especially for Ken, who became the hero of his own book.
