Illustration created for the 3rd Annual ABC’s Children’s Picture Book Competition.
“This competition is meant to find a children’s story that is a diamond in the rough and turn it into a gem that becomes a best seller,” said Rita Mills, of The Book Connection who is the corporate sponsor of The ABC’s.  “Each story is a team effort with author and illustrator working together to solicit votes for their story with the winning team receiving a publishing contract.” The 2007 competition had author finalists and illustrators from 14 different states and 2 foreign countries.
