Clammy the Clam first drawings to the final artwork!

Tasha Anderson drew the first image of the clam and this is the final clam picture.
Tasha does her artwork in about a month's time. A mother of children, she has to fit her artwork in with mothering and work.




The Starfish is one of the funny characters in this delightful children's story entitled Clammy the Clam. Please check it out on lulu.com







Inspired by the oceans, I thought this story would be a good illustration of finding self-esteem. Written, because there were so few books in the Thai school I worked at...that this story allowed the kids to enjoy "reading time".



As a Kindergarten teacher for six years in Thailand, I wrote a few children stories for the classroom and will never forget my wonderful experiences there!





It is wonderful to see how this pictures come to life with Tasha's touch of color!
