Meet Gigi, the indefatigable gorilla who somersaults, swings, and dances his way through life. His adventures don't always turn out for the best but the journey is more important than the destination.

These watercolor illustrations are just a few from part of an ongoing collaboration with the author of the 12-book Gigi series.

Sparky Pop loves running through fields of Goldenseal, eating vegetables, and drawing. His mother is a mare and his father a jack, making Sparky Pop a mule. He's usually found in a good state of mind munching on a sprig of kale or a beet.
