Hello!
I wanted to share a quick flip-through of my new book, Kodi 2! The link above directs to where you can find it if you're interested. It's a middle-grade 176 page hand-painted watercolor and gouache graphic novel.

What publisher says:
"The gorgeous story of two friends separated by everything in the world — except love. Readers and animal-lovers of every age will want to relive this journey over and over again.

After being reunited, Katya and Kodi have settled into their fast-paced new life together in the city. When Katya begins to fall behind in school and Kodi struggles to find his place in this noisy new world everything is upended by a greedy zookeeper that aims to break their friendship up for good. Katya and her family must leave the city and journey back into the wild, meeting unlikely new friends and adventure along the way. From racing along rushing rivers to running with wild horses Katya must help her friend find a place to belong or risk losing him forever. — a 176-page full-color softcover graphic novel with 3" French flaps (6.5" x 9")"

Thanks for checking it out!

Happy sketching,
Jared
