Thought I’d share some news about my first children’s book. I wrote this story a long time ago as flash fiction for adults, but while in an illustration class, I decided to revise it for kids. Here’s one of the illustrations for early in the book I recently finished. My plan is to publish the book before Halloween. This is when the mouse jinn grants the pumpkin’s first wish to leave the pumpkin patch. I’ll share more illustrations as the book progresses. BTW, this will be the first book I publish under my real name, Wendy Spurlin.
