The above sample illustration is by Mixter Twizzle's Breakfast's new illustrator...drum roll...WEI LU!  Learn more about her HERE and HERE.

Unfortunately, my husband Kevin just doesn't have enough time to illustrate at the moment, but I'm very happy to have found someone with their own strong style and talent who is also willing to stick to the Mixter character's original design.  I'm looking forward to working with you, Lulu!

From Mirror World Publishing's website:  ...So what is The Last Hockey Fight all about? Well, it’s an illustrated chapter book for kids who love hockey. It follows Canadian hockey player, Billy ‘The Bruiser’ Fenton with a play by play account of the last season of his colourful career, culminating in a spectacular effort to save the tradition of hockey fights.

BUTTERFLY COLORS
Written by:  Michelle P. Varner
Illustrated by:  Samantha Bell

A poor young girl yearns for a beautiful party dress to wear to the ballet. A magical butterfly generously gives the girl his vibrant colors which turn her drab dress into one fit for a princess, while he is left with gray wings.

STORIES FROM GRANDMA'S HEART
Written by:  Connie Heiser
Illustrated by:  Sheila K. Spory

Halle and Grant take a long stroll down Memory Lane with Grandma as she recalls the lessons she learned in childhood. In Heiser’s third bedtime storybook, Grandma remembers some happy times like when she got her first bicycle, but remembers a sad time when her house burned down. There is always a lesson to be learned and Grandma is never short of reminding her grand-treasures how great God is.
