It's amazing that it all started from a school project!
I'm also thrilled to say I'll be illustrating 3 more books of his...so keep an eye out! They're definitely nice books that not only kids, but adults should read.
I was so excited to receive the books..here are some photos!
These are the earliest concepts I showed the publishers and editors at Harper Collins:
This is the final look they chose..
and some of my rough sketches..
I'm very happy about how the book turned out. HUGE thanks to the Harper Collins team for making a wonderful book! If you're interested in purchasing it, you can pre-order a copy at Harper Collins or Amazon. The book will be in stores on Nov. 25th.
