Hmmm, I wonder if we could reuse any of the story boards from "Nicholas and the Magic Uterus"? :)

Whoa, I remember that! Unfortunately, I think I deleted all the pictures from my phone...

Not to worry:



I'm all about posterity. Or something.

That was just beautiful.

Yes, it should definitely be a children's book. And I may know an illustrator (well, really an artist...)

An artist would be just peachy for me! ;)

I'll see if she's interested :)

You can see her stuff online here http://www.delightsfantasyart.com. She's already done some stuff in one book (I'll see if I can find a link)

'Cause you don't already know any of those.... (errr... not that I have an abundance of free time. But I might be stuck in bed for a really long time recouping from knee surgery, in which case I'll need *something* to do)

Actually, there's quite a bit of similarity between your very cool little story & a native American myth I ran across while researching my Mythic Birds print suite. I don't remember which tribe & all the info I had was on the computer that died but it was the story of the Rainbow Crow. Like yours, Crow originally had beautiful colorful plumage that gets burned black. But in the Rainbow Crow story, Crow's plumage is burned while he's stealing a coal from the Sun in order to bring fire to the people.

I really like your story, too.
