“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

The right side is white with text that reads: illustrator-author/ANNA DAVISCOURT/annadaviscourt@gmail.com/annadaviscourt.com
Made with acrylic gouache and colored pencils on Bristol paper.

Orange-toned children’s book illustration of a family at a fall festival. An older man sits on a haystack and plays pumpkin chess with his grandkid while a couple cousins watch (one about to bite an Apple cider donut), surrounded by pumpkins. A parent with coffee looks to the side with a worried smile as their child presents a pumpkin that is about as big as they are! Underneath is text that says “Kris Easler, rep’d by Jen Rofé, kriseasler.com”
