Illustrated scene of a preschool age girl with messy braids, wearing overalls. She’s playing with toy cars in the dirt by a puddle, surrounded by wild strawberries, grape vines, a chain link fence, lily of the valley, and rhubarb. She’s looking up at a small imaginary (or real) dragon in the rhubarb. The dragon is eyeing an inchworm on a leaf. Art by Gina Perry

Illustrated scene of a city parkway filled with kids and adults on bicycles, tricycles, wagons, and scooters. The illustration was done for High Five Magazine’s “That’s Silly” feature, so lots of silly things are visible (banana handlebars, fish tank in a bike basket, triangle wheel, etc). Art by Gina Perry
