New cover coming soon for Millie's third book, "The Time Machine!"
THE ARGUMENT
Millie and Pig were having a conversation.
"I want to practice my handstands," Millie said. "Could you please hold my feet?"
"I need to plant these flowers. Could you please help me dig the holes?" Pig asked.
"But I want to practice my handstands," Millie said, "and I need you to hold my feet."
"But I need to plant these flowers and I need you to help me dig the holes," Pig said.
Millie and Pig were having a conversation that was turning into an argument.
(illo: page of escalating text.)
"But I want to practice my handstands," Millie said, "and I need you to hold my feet." "But I need to plant these flowers and I need you to help me dig the holes," Pig said. "But I want to practice my handstands," Millie said, "and I need you to hold my feet." "But I need to plant these flowers and I need you to help me dig the holes," Pig said. "But I want to practice my handstands," Millie said, "and I need you to hold my feet." "But I need to plant these flowers and I need you to help me dig the holes," Pig said.
(illo: Millie and Pig stare at each other, silently.)
Millie really wanted what she wanted.
And Pig really wanted what he wanted.
So they did the only thing they could do together...
They compromised.
(illo: Pig holding Millie's feet, her horn poking perfect planting holes in the ground as she does handstands)
And it worked perfectly!
THE TIME MACHINE
Pig built a time machine and travelled back to the War of 1812
(illo: Pig on a battlefield, dressed like Napoleon.)
Millie entered the time machine and travelled even further back to ancient Egypt.
(illo: Millies dressed like Cleopatra)
Digby travelled far into the future as a space explorer.
(illo: Digby in space, surrounded by aliens.)
"I think we need to fix the time machine!" Millie shouted over the pyramids.
"Why?" Pig shouted back over the roar of the cannons. "It works perfectly!"
"What?" asked Digby from way out in space? "I can't hear you!"
"We can't play in the same place at the same time," Millie explained.
(illo: Pig, holding a marker, writes, "Today" on the time dial.)
"Now it works perfectly," Millie said.
(illo: everyone on the farm playing together, in their individual costumes and specific props.)
