Hi, I am Jackson.  I am nine years old and live in New Jersey. I am in third grade and I am the creator of Ow.  I came up with the character, Ow, after I went to an animation class at my library.  I learned how to animate using an app. called Flipaclip.  I was a beginner, so I made my animations with stick figures.  I started creating funny animations with my stick figures and I came up with a character named, Ow. After awhile, I started making different animated stories about him. 

I have loved to draw since I was basically a baby and love to read all types of books. This year I got really into writing stories.  My teacher, Mrs. Crawford taught me how to write detailed stories at school. I really enjoyed writing using narrative, so I started working on more of those stories at home.  I thought it would be cool to write my own book based on my Ow animations. It was a lot of fun and I just kept going. I had to go back and read and edit my story so many times to have it make sense and get rid of mistakes. I did all of the illustrations using Flipaclip too! I have worked on this every day for months and months.  I am happy that I am finally able to share my story and illustrations with all of you. I hope you like it!
