This illustration is for "A Mermaid's Brother," the tale of a little boy who thinks he'd like to be a different animal so his brother would treat him better.

This picture of a kangaroo with a basketball is one of the boy's wishes. You can understand when you think that kangaroos can jump more than eight feet. Do you think he'd have trouble getting the ball into the basket?

I made this illustration first with pencil and then with watercolor paints, a black marker, and a little computer enhancement so the colors would shine.

If you click on the picture, it will take you to the story where you can read what happens to the little boy and see all the other pictures, as well.

Or, you can use the bitem to get you there, too.
