New OZ Children's books in the works

Recently I've signed on to illustrate 2 books by Roger Baum who is the great grandson of Frank Baum who wrote the Wizard of Oz. The two books that I'm working on are Oz books and the first book is a Christmas story. The Christmas book should be available sometime this Nov/Dec. I've attached the cover illustration and a sample illustration that was done.

Joy Stone illustration 2- Squirrel and Chipmunk

This is the 2nd illustration for the children's book the Joy Stone. The squirrel's name is Gray-paw and the chipmunk's name is Atchitamon. They are some of Princess Sighing Dove's friends.

Joy Stone illustration 1 - Princess Sighing Dove

This is the 1st illustration spec for the Joy Stone children's book. The picture is of Princess Sighing Dove who is the main character in the story. She is very sad because she grew up without her mother and has never known true happiness. I was going to use watercolors but decided to go with colored pencils.
