When the art director from Cricket magazine asked me to illustrate an upcoming two-part story I told her that I really had too many other commitments at the time.

"But it's funny," she said, ..."and there are cats." I couldn't resist.

So, please find in this month's issue of Cricket magazine, some illustrations by me for a fun story called, "The Cat King's Daughter," by Lloyd Alexander.

Carus Publishing is the umbrella company for kid magazines for all ages; Cricket, Babybug, Ladybug, Ask, and Spider. They do a phenomenal job of consistently hiring illustrators at a time when it would be less expensive and more cost effective to seek out other resources. So just a little shout out of thanks to them for using a wide range of styles and mediums and exposing our kids to the wonderful world of illustration each and every month.
