Simon's Batty Imagination

Carmen Andersen is the founder of CSB Innovations and the creator of Theatre Books, a new and innovative way to illustrate children's books. "For every crazy idea my family wished I had never had," reads the dedication written on CSB's first book. Carmen has always had the spirit of an entrepreneur, and this idea is just one of many. "What if" and "wouldn't it be cool if" are common phrases for her. It took 40 years for one of those "What if's" to come to life. Inspired and led by God Carmen has forged a path for herself and others to publish children's books in a truly unique way. For Twenty Three years Carmen has been a dedicated mother, and wife. As a young mother she inspired her children to dream and to always ask for more out of life than what they were given.In her professional carrier she has focused primarily in the Accounting and Business Management field. She uses this experience in the development of CSB, however she believes that it takes more than just business sense for a company to be successful. She often reflects on her first published poem "Life is a Dream" and the new hope and direction this accomplishment made for her. She hopes that through CSB programs she will be able to pass that on to other children
