The Storybook Adventure Begins ✨📖
Introducing the tale of Ricky the Raccoon and one of his many adventures. My grandpa, Steve Crouse, has been telling these stories to his children and grandchildren over the years. My hope is to help bring these stories to life with illustrations, and to continue passing on the wisdom held in each book. My grandpa and I will be working together to bring this book and others to life!
Ricky the Raccoon is considered the wisest of the animals in a small woods. All of the other critters of this woods come to him with their problems, and receive his wisdom whether they are truly looking for it or not. Each of these stories tells the tale of a different animal needing the guidance Ricky can give through the wisdom he receives from the Bible.
I began illustrating this book about a year ago with a different art style, but decided to go a different route with the style and layout. If you are interested in this book, follow along on the illustration process!
