Last year, Marnie from Kids Hope USA, contacted me about illustrating a list of nursery rhymes for the special reading project that would help children of all races across the world, learn to read. As I sit here in the studio this afternoon gazing at the table filled with about 23 darling illustrations, my heart smiles knowing that they'll soon be available in a book to help those very children they work with every single day.
It's a great feeling inside knowing that I've had the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing project and look forward to hearing how my illustrations have touched the heart of children everywhere. There's no better gift in life than being a part of collaboration that brings hope and life to children.
I'll be in and out over the next few weeks, taking care of things with my younger brother whose wife passed away recently and will visit everyone when able.
