a fierce thanks
Thank you to the folks who’ve sent me messages and shared I will be Fierce with kids. Illustrating this book was a huge challenge as the text is powerful but not clearly visual. I revised sketches many times in order to match Bea Birdsong’s words with a strong visual story about a girl facing the challenges of her day. The positive response makes it worth it!
Here are some interior spreads – the librarian is based off my kid’s favorite story time librarian!
Thank you and I hope you have a lovely week!
We love your illustrations in I Will be Fierce! My daughter adopted and child after being her foster mom and has written two books not published.She is unhappy with some of the illustrations. I hope she will reach out to you. Her name is Kristin Lauderback and her daughter is Leah Love Lauderback. Hope you will sit across a desk one day.
Your are a talented woman that already changes the world.
With appreciation,
Jan Hansen
Thank you!
