I think that would be brilliant - having Quickpaw in every panel (like a witness/greek chorus) watching him like a guardian might. Assuring he’s safe. You should do this. Maybe make some preliminary sketches - a kind of storyboard - to guide the illustrator in what you envision. I don’t remember the big red barn - but I believe I’ve seen the same technique in some of the books I’ve read my grandchildren.
I love to hear you say that and I would also love to have any artistic talent whatsoever but no. Maybe we'll find a fellow substacker and talk it over.
It’s really kind of perfect Wes. This little traveler moving though the universe of his back yard, returning to the arms of his mother.
This would be so great either as a series of small books - or as a larger book, read over nights so the any little guy can dream along with this intrepid Ulysses...
Thanks Patris. A 15 minute odyssey. I would be fun if Quickpaw could show up in some tiny corner of every panel because that guy really got around. There was a book we read to our boys for years, one of their favorites called "The Big Red Barn" had a butterfly, sometimes tiny, sometimes not, in every panel.

That would be perfect!
