I’m Special Too And So Are You . Eva had asked the Head of the Art Department at Wilma’s high school if any students would be interested in illustrating her book. Wilma was approached with this opportunity, providing a sample thereafter which depicted her illustration of the book’s character, ‘Cookie’. She expresses her gratitude, and even reveals her shock at having been selected: “Very, very talented artists participated.” This spring, Eva and Wilma held a meeting during which they discussed the style of the book. As Wilma candidly reveals, “The challenging part of illustrating a book is that the author has a very clear image in their mind.” Wilma dedicated the time to ensure that she was bringing Eva’s vision to life; Eva supplying a description and Wilma creating illustrations through a digital process, sketching and editing until both parties were thrilled with the results. I’m Special Too And So Are You is presently available to purchase on Amazon. Wilma is proud to announce that proceeds are being donated to shelters aiding abused and neglected animals.
