I’m sharing the story with you in serial fashion, two pages a day, over a 9 day period.
Writing Translated
PG 3: It seemed easy enough. Run, flap your arms, and jump. Diggory ran, flapping his arms as fast as he could, but when he jumped …
PG 4: … he fell to the ground with a thump! “I need to be higher,” he thought.
Stay tune for Part 3, tomorrow!
Details Behind the Story
Way back in June, for his July birthday, my hubby asked for a follow-up story to the Diggory Wombat Gets Lost book that I wrote and illustrated for him. Unfortunately, my Muse wasn’t interested so, after months of dithering, I wrote and illustrated the book in 4 days!
This book was done in one of Hahnemühle’s ZigZag accordion books. The book is one long sheet, folded into 18 pages. I love working on this paper!
Diggory Wombat just might be the first wombat that flies, fingers crossed ! I love the Hahnemühle’s ZigZag accordion books too !
Many thanks, Jackie! I’m afraid the odds are against poor Diggory, but he’s not one to give up easily.
I love it, Sandra!
I wonder how high he will go !
Too high for his own good, lol! Half the story is about his coming down!
on the last day you should run all the pages again so we can read it from start to finish 🙂
I’m posting the links to the previous days posts. I get more hits that way, lol.
Diggory is adorable. Look forward to the next installment!
Thank you so much, Mary!
I love how determined Diggory is to learn to fly, and then how vulnerable after his effort has failed. We humans do much the same as we try to do new things that take effort and practice, often landing on our rears before we become successful.
We’re taught that we can do anything if we try hard enough, but sometimes the odds are stacked against us. But Diggory’s hard to keep down so he’ll be off to another adventure soon!
