Jack Rabbit

Chirp magazine asked me to write and illustrate a short story for their current winter issue. I took it as an opportunity to work with Mike, by having him write it  - while I illustrated it. The story is inspired by a Jack Rabbit that used to live in our neighbourhood.

Here is an interview I did for the magazine: http://www.owlkids.com/chirpfamily/?p=3066
