Part 1 & 2
Jodie McCallum (illustrator and creator) was approached to create characters for a children's nativity set that could be designed and produced en masse.
From this request sprang the idea to create an entire children's story based on the well known journey, but told from the animal's perspective and to make it even more enjoyable for children, have it written in rhyme.
Once Grant and Jodie decided it should be written from the animals point of view and in rhyme, that is when FATE! entered the picture.
Enter John Wilkie! John and his wife Bonnie decided to take a short trip over to Kelleys Island but a violent thunderstorm was overhead, so they decided to stop in the McCallum Gallery and wait for it to pass.
To be continued....
