James Williamson is a silly dad, with quirky ideas popping into his head all the time. He is a father of two girls and enjoys seeing the world through their eyes as they continue to grow and explore.

Inspiration for his debut novel Mealtime at the Zoo, PB & J Café, came while walking through the Fresno Chaffee Zoo’s reptile house.  As he considered the snakes behind the glass, he asked his daughter a simple silly question… 

“What would a snake put in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?”

Slightly disgusted she responded, ‘a mouse’ and so began this books journey.

With this question in mind, adding a little rhythm and rhyme, one line evolved into to two, then three, then four, and many many more.  Eventually, a series of stanzas were compiled and a fun and exciting children’s book for kids 3 to 8 years old was born.

James’ primary goal is to inspire children to continue to be silly, creative, and curious with fun rhymes and vibrant art.
