Here’s another drawing for Bell Mountain by 9-year-old Kerolyn in Brazil. It’s a scene from Book No. 2, The Cellar Beneath the Cellar–Obst and Uduqu giving King Ryons a much-needed bath.
I like the idea of illustrating my young readers’ books with pictures drawn by children! I don’t think it’s been done before, and I wonder why not? I’d love to see more pictures done by young readers themselves, all around the world. Hey, is this way cool, or what?
I wonder if I can get a picture of the Baluchitherium in The Thunder King (Book 3) emerging from the river with King Ryons on its back, scattering the Thunder King’s army just as it’s about to take the city of Obann.
I like it.
The girls are very good at drawing. Would like to see that drawing as well.
Very enjoyable to see their talent.
These are great drawings. I’d love to see more of them as illustrations in your books.
Of course, the books are already printed and illustrations can’t be added. Probably after I die the sales will take off, they’ll have to print more editions, and then they can add the pictures.
P.S.–Young adults novels illustrated by children: someone really should’ve thought of this before.
I hope they have access to your Blog so it will inspire more pictures!
Hello, Mr. Lee Duigon. I’m so glad you posted my drawing on your blog. May God bless you and your wife.
Thank you, Kerolyn. I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed my books.
