After I'd produced about two dozen pen and ink drawings, one evening I decided that they needed poems to accompany them. I still have no idea where that notion came from, but it took me about two hours to produce verses for these creatures. ↗

Children seem naturally drawn to poetry - it's some combination of the rhyme, rhythm, and the words themselves. ↗
