Welcome Short
This is both personal and for a client. Before I started working officially in the children’s publishing world I worked on my craft by doing short stories (words and image) like these and reading a ton of books.
Here are the words for this short which was drawn with colored pencil.
“This has been a long trip with few familiar faces. But, there’s nothing like trekking a thousand miles and coming home to your family. Here I was thinking it would be a quiet Sunday all by myself since everyone was out of town; they said. And I had my key still. But when I walked in Grandpa and Grandma, my sisters, my cousin, and the kids were all there, I almost cried! Somebody up there has a sense of humor.”
If you’d like to see more of my short stories, the good ones, and the :/ lessons please visit my blog.
