Children's book interior drawing illustration for
Starfish Summer

This interior drawing as the illustration for Starfish Summer, a children's book written by Ona Gritz-Gilbert, and published by HarperCollins Publishers in Summer, 1998.

Pencil drawing of a set of beach pale and shovel is one of my 19 black and white interior illustrations for this funny children's book all about beach, starfish, and friendship.

Through illustrating the Starfish Summer children's book, I learned much about starfish. How the starfish grow and live. To learn about starfish, click here.

Book Summary: Mama's girl! Mama's girl! That's what the kids in school call Amy. But this summer Amy's going to visit her great-aunt Jenny at the beach while Mom's away on business. Amy thinks it's the perfect chance to prove that she's not a mama's girl. But Amy's high hope of learning how to ride a bike and making new friends fall flat when Crystal, the only other girl Amy's age, seems to dislike Amy. Does Crystal think Amy's a mama's girl, too? Amy's disappointed at first, but soon she's soaking up the warmth of this quirky seaside community.
