The Story of Bixie and Tiki is coming along great! Hatem has provided the initial sketches and I approved all of them. Only a few minor adjustments. I can’t wait to get the illustrations for this. Of course I better get cracking and get the story written on the three reading levels too. It’s time to focus on story, story, story!
If I have always considered myself a reading website — and in my heart that is what Ninjanimals Kidz is mainly about — then focusing on stories versus “business” will make me happy and lead to success faster than slogging through business models which don’t appeal to me at all.
Anyway, back to the story….
Bixie and Tiki, the Turtle Fairies, and the entire Box Turtle Family
Hatem sent me a model sheet of the Box Turtle Family — the three new characters of Tiki, Ma-turtle and Pa-turtle. I loved it so much I requested that he turn it into an additional illustration. Hmmm….perhaps why I can’t stay within budget…. I want to share this with everyone too, as this is my brother’s family and the story is a true story. 
Hugs,
Rachel
