Is it Earth Day Yet?

             Is it spring yet? Yes, here in illustration land. Ranger Rick is always encouraging kids to get out and commune with wildlife and their habitat, in the wild or their own backyards. That's why I love them so much. I was thrilled to be able to contribute this new illustration for their April issue.

                                                Here's how it will appear in the magazine:

Baby Ellie

  I had almost forgotten this piece I created for Ranger Rick a few months ago; then the magazine came  and reminded me. Of course, elephants never forget. Or as Dorothy Parker once said, "Women and elephants never forget."
  Baby elephants suck the ends of their trunks in lieu of thumbs.  I wonder what Dorothy would say about that?
