I'm so excited to announce that the book I illustrated is now available at Blurb!
The story is written by Patricia Kerner and tells of a very special farm in the country, where all the vegetables grow taller and bigger and the cows have a special talent.
It was such a joy to work on this project, because Patricia Kerner is my aunt and the story came from my great grandfather. I used family photos for inspiration, and included illustrations that have personal or family meaning. I researched farms and flowers and clothing, practiced drawing a 1950 Ford pickup and lots of cows. Even after all of that, one of the pages is really three different versions of myself.
Fun fact: on every two page spread there is some kind of bird.
Available for purchase here:
