The eight fables are basically done! I thought it would be fun to update you on the progress of the book as it went off today for the printing of 50 advanced reader copies (ARCs). Our marketing person will now send them out to various media for review.

I still can't believe that after so many years the text and illustrations are done! How many dozens of beavers did I do trying to get a look that seemed to fit Michael's wonderful text (you can see the original Beaver below).

I also thought you might like to get a sneak peek at some of the interior of the book.
Original Beaver
This was a charcoal sketch I did in 2014!


Beaver & Duck
It wasn't until 2017 that I walked into the arts & crafts store in Charleston, and a fellow said I ought to try this product - part charcoal and part watercolor. That did it! It was the look I wanted.
Below is the first page of the the first fable that Michael wrote.
Each fable has a moral!
