Okay guys, for the longest time I've wanted to do a Children's book about my silkie called "Peanut the Fuzzy Chicken". I wanted to capture some of Peanuts huge personality in the book.

 

I'm close to being done so I'm getting super excited!

 

Here are a few pages from it, please let me know what you think!

Haha yes there will be words! These are just the illustrations tongue.png

 

I'm excited that this might actually get the word out about silkies too. Most people don't have a clue that there are even "fuzzy chickens" out there hee hee

Ok, I called in my three oldest (8, 5.5 and 5) and asked them what they thought and they loved it! I asked them if this looks like a book they would want to read and they all said yes. So I say, keep up the good work and let us know when we can buy a copy!

Thanks xC0000005! I wish I could say I drew these but I didn't. I only chose the style and content. I worked closely with my illustrator to get these the way they are. Took a ton of drafts but we made it lol
