I wrote and illustrated The Straw-Haired Girl as a Christmas gift for a dear friend of mine. Since she hates cold weather and enjoys abominable beasts, I created a tale about an evil winter wherein a little girl is kidnapped by yetis. The character is raised by birds and then left to find her family during a confusing shift of seasons. It's a fairytale and very idyllic, but the kind of thing I love to read out loud. The fox has a gruff cockney voice that one just has to hear. I'm working on an audio-drama version as well. It just feels great to have had something published that isn't related to photos.
