Two weeks ago I received a call from my illustrator! We discussed page size, paper type, colors and my main characters. She worked on the sketches and sent me two today in my email. I loved them. They were so good. I think the students will love them. When she said she would be sending sketches, I pictured pencil ones. These were in color so I could really picture what they will turn out to look like. I'm getting excited. I can't wait to see how the pages turn out with all the background colors and settings in it.
