Day 34 - Illustrator Tour with Dawn Phillips

I'd love to share with you an illustration from my current book project included is the text for your reading. It's illustrated with oil pastels.

My mother packed our belongings in the basket Maniye had made. Then my father handed us each a pair of shoes. "I traded the ox and plow for these." I realized how important going to Israel really was to our father. He wanted us to look our very best!
Soon buses arrived. We traveled for many hours until we came to a large field. I heard a roaring noise and looked up to see a huge winged bird swoop down. "An eagle!" I shouted.
