My Entry for the 2013 SCBWI Tomie dePaola Award

This year’s Tomie dePaola Award task was to Illustrate this poem in full color for a book of poems that will be “pitched” to parents to read to their babies, toddlers, etc.
Sneeze
A sneeze
Is a breeze
In
Your
Nose.

I'm really excited to see everyone's entry on the gallery Diandra Mae set up 3 years ago. My favorite part of entering this is to see all the many interpretations on the same theme. Before Diandra set up the gallery, we could only see the winners on the SCBWI site - thanks Diandra! But we have to wait for the winner announcement in January before it goes live.

Was this done in colored pencil?

Sweet giraffe, and nice use of complimentaries. Good luck!

Thank you! I did the drawing in graphite pencil and colored it in Photoshop.
