Joey No Tail's Search for a Home

I have been working on a children's picture book with my friend, Tim Robbins, and am finally ready to share some information about it.

The story is based on a concept by Doreen Crawford, but the words are mine, and all of the illustrations are the original work of Tim Robbins. The working title is: Joey No Tail's Search for a Home.

The story is about a puppy looking for a home. Joey No Tail lives in a shelter with lots of other puppies. Everyday families visit the shelter to adopt a puppy. All of the puppies wag their tails hoping to catch the people's attention. But Joey has no tail to wag. How will he ever find a family to take him home?

The text for the picture book is complete and Tim is working on the art. I wanted to go ahead and share a couple of pieces of concept art with those who might be interested. The first piece is a sketch of Joey. The second is the shelter where Joey currently lives.
