13. Have you ever illustrated a children's book?

One of the first books I was able to read cover-to-cover was Snow, which was illustrated by Roy McKie. Snow was one of the early Dr. Seuss "I Can Read It All By Myself" books.

While your style is distinct from McKie's, "The Snow Blower" and your other recent illustrations of children and snow reminded me of that book I first read more than 60 years ago.

If you haven't yet illustrated a children's book, you might give it a shot. I think you've got the knack.
