This was drawn and written by my daughter’s best friend’s husband, so of course I had to get it. He did an excellent job.

It’s the story of a cranky leprechaun who’s just woken up after being asleep for a thousand years. When he wakes up everything’s changed and all his friends are gone, so he has to rediscover everything around him.

There are 20 pictures to color. The story is on the left side with a picture on the right side that connects to the current scene.

As to the story, I don’t know what age group this is aimed at but certain words are a little above even most adult’s level: i.e.: gentrification. Other than that it’s interesting and has a good moral:
