Country Bear, City Pup
Before starting Writer Dad, my primary purpose for the pen was writing children’s stories for the house full of children that Cindy and I managed Monday through Friday. I went on a three month children’s story binge, popping out a portfolio of rhyming ditties that have sat largely untouched for the last year and a half.
One of these tales was given breath earlier this year by the wonderful work of Lucy Huang, a remarkable freelance illustrator who is particularly interested in children’s books. Lucy wanted to draw something for children and asked if I would care to collaborate. I said sure and sent over one of my stories, “Country Bear, City Pup.”
Lucy took those thousand words and gave them the color that I never could have. The words might have inspired the drawings, but the look and feel of the design were all Lucy . It is a wonderful thing as a writer to see a world of your creation move from pallid black and whites to the beautiful hues that Lucy bestowed.
Thank you Lucy for your wonderful work.

Country Bear and City Pup will be available as a free PDF on Thursday, compliments of Writer Dad and Lulu Design. Download it for free, print it out, and read it to your wee one.
Until then, you can enjoy this little teaser for Country Bear, City Pup – also cooked up as a courtesy by Lulu’s Design.
See you Thursday!
