ABC Children’s Picture Book Competition and the weather

Last year I participated in the ABC Childrens Picture Book Competition Round 4… and what do you think happened?

A hurricane named Ike came right through Houston and knocked the power out, leaving us with no lights, no water, no air conditioning for two and a half weeks. Yep… right in the middle of  the competition!!  There was no way to promote much less find out what was going on in the outside world!

So this year… I’m back for Round 5 of the competition!

I’ve been chosen to illustrate a scene from Sorry Doesn’t Clean It Up by Wendy Rogalinski. It’s an adorable story about a whirlwind of a boy who blows through rooms leaving a mess in his wake! Talk about a hurricane!!
