I’m sharing the story with you in serial fashion, two pages a day, over a 9 day period.
Writing Translated
PG 9: He rolled into a kangaroo thorn bush and Diggory, the gum tree and the thorny bush rolled down the hill.
PG 10: Below, a numbat was eating termites.
Stay tune for Part 6, 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!

Enjoying the story and your art!
Thank you so much, Susan!
Great colors and can’t wait for the next pages!
Many thanks, Judy and a Happy New Year!
One predicament after another – every story needs crises to confront and conquer. That numbat looks fierce. We don’t have numbats in the US but I know several numbskulls.
Lol! I’m not sure if numbats are numbskulls. This one would probably accuse Diggory of being the numbskull!
