Here's a special chance to see how one of the illustrations for HUSH UP AND HIBERNATE! brought this story to life.
When you choose "play", you'll go right back to the beginning when the text inspired the idea for the illustration. You'll see the sketches that created the scene. Next, you'll see the colors begin to be added. The details follow.
Notice what comes first, next, and so on.
When you compare the illustration to the finished spread in the book, look at one more thing. See how the artist Howard McWilliam planned, right from the start, for the text to become part of the scene.
And here's the text to read as you enjoy the illustration come to life.
Mama Bear grunts, "I guess we can eat
a little longer before we sleep
away the winter." Side-by-side, they
munch chokecherries until a flock of geese flies past.
Mama Bear slowly lifts her big head and listens to their honking.
Super cool!
