Duke Pics

My husband decided not to illustrate for my chapter book. The decision was made because the story has a seasonal theme. Its not nearly as seasonal as A Christmas Carol or How The Grinch Stole Christmas; however, its still set during winter around the Christmas season. We didn't think we'd have enough illustrations by Thanksgiving, which is around the time I want to release Duke's Forever Family to the viewing public.

Its a 10 chapter children's story about an adventurous kitten whose family disappears one winter's night. When he finds they are missing, he sets off into the cold to search for his siblings and his mother. Along the way he meets new and interesting friends, discovering that hurt and loss come in many different forms. Will Duke find his family or is he alone for good?

Here is one of the pictures that we were going to insert, however it will not be included in the final product:

Aww isn't he cute for a drawing?
