I just love umbrellas. The main character in my picture book spends a good deal of time with/in/under umbrellas. You might call it an unhealthy obsession...
He or she is quite adorable. I love the night sky above and all around him. He looks like he is on his way somewhere. There is something very special about this illustration. I like it very much, but I am also liking the air about it! I would love hear the story.
Looks like this will be a wonderful picture book! I really like the colors on this illustration, how they capture the night so well, so richly. And that little penguin, what a sweet character he is... I'd love to learn more him!
beautiful illustration! love that it's so unexpectedly at night; the colors are great & that fluttering, elegant bit of paper is a great touch--would love to see the pictureb book

That's so cute and I love your choice of colors. It brings out the mood perfectly.
Thanks, guys for the encouragement! The book is actually out (it was published in April).
Patrick the Somnambulist is the title. (Written and illustrated by me-Sarah Ackerley).
