Blue Beach Cap

Julie has illustrated several of my Very Short Stories. This one is illustrated as its own book. When we approach illustrating a new story, Julie always asks, “What do you want?” and I always say, “I want you to illustrate what comes to mind when you read the story.” Whenever I work with an artist or graphic designer, they always produce something better than whatever I thought to ask. Working with Julie, I just let her start with her own ideas, and I always love the results! One of her ideas with this story is a separate story-within-the-story that plays out on the right-facing text page (the restrictions of ebook formatting haven’t allowed us to include them there).
