Illustration: Teddy Tells Tipsy the Stuffed Giraffe A Story
The soft breaking of the ocean’s waves stirred Teddy’s heart and made his imagination soar as he came to the end of his story.
“And as they sailed across the high seas they met pirates and storms and–”
“And dinosaurs.” Interjected Tipsy.
“Yes, and dinosaurs … and they conquered every one. They were champions of bravery.” With a sigh of dreamy, child-filled wonder, Teddy rolled over onto his side and gazed at the sea.
“Champions.” Whispered Tipsy, awestruck at such extremes. A sudden thought flashed across his mind. “But they didn’t conquer Maine, did they?”
“Oh no,” replied Teddy softly. “Maine was their home.”

Hi, I just wanted to tell you how much I love your artwork. Do you ever do any Bible pictures? My mom is a poet and has written several Bible stories in poetry and had one of them published. We had it illustrated by a friend, but it really isn’t what my mom wants. I would love to talk with you about it more if you might be interested in doing some illustrations for her. She isn’t into making a lot of money, just wants to be a blessing to others with her poems. Thanks again for sharing your talent with us.
Hello, Patti!! Thank-you for sweet encouragement! And thank-you for being interested in my work! I just sent you an e-mail! ;)
It’s called “Naaman and the Little Maid” but you won’t find it anywhere except her church’s and my church’s bookstore. She has not found any place to take them and they are sitting mostly in her garage!
Ohmygoodness that is the most charming thing— both the story and the illustration. Oh my. That’s how I want to write and draw someday.
You are so sweet!! Thank-you for your encouragement!
