This is raccoon who is surprised.




This illustration is from my first cut paper draft from Surprise and used for my business cards as clip art to send to editors and art editors. The gifts were my graditude to those who helped me. The star is for the next year of success.

Raccoons are survivers and need to be celebrated.





The Illustrator



Here is a black and white cut and pasted
illustration from the first draft of 
my Surprise book. The five characters 
are from my home preschool: 
crow, dog, cat, rabbit, and opossum
who are celebrating raccoon's 4th birthday.
