Illustrator Found

After a heap of bad news I'm finally able to share some good stuff. I found an illustrator for PapPap's book. His name is Dana Bellis and he is a professional portrait artist/graphic designer. A native of my hometown, Millersburg, Dana graduated high school two-years prior to me. We plan to get started on the illustrations sometime in May which means I have a lot of work to do before handing over the final draft. I'm confident that Dana's soft and compelling artwork will bring the story to life and keep little ones focused while parents read the words. I'll continue to keep ya'll posted with the progress. Below is a sample of Dana's work. Fabulous, no?
