I had the honor of illustrating the cutest naturalistic story recently for Ladybug Magazine! It’s a story all about curiosity and overcoming fear. This little girl is rewarded for her bravery and gets to witness the life cycle of wood frogs in her Grandpa’s woods. Jane Dauster has written a beautiful, suspenseful short story for kids.
I loved every minute of this project from the first read of the manuscript, to the research, the sketching, working with the art director to improve my vision, and of course painting these cute little scenes!
When March rolled around, I checked the mail every day with anticipation. This is the first time my artwork has been published in a children’s magazine and it was so exciting to finally get my copy! I hope to work with these guys again. So fun!
