The Chipmunks Day Poem - Original Illustrations

Hello all, today I want to make a quick presentation of an old project I did in high school.

We were given a choice of a few poems and had to illustrate them or make a video, or something like that.

I love to draw, so I made the poem The Chipmunks Day by Randall Jarrell into a childrens book. I have only ever shared this with my English class, so I am excited to share it with Steemit! To be clear, the words are not mine but the drawings are! So, what does a chipmunk do in a day?

(note: I messed this part up a little, it is meant to have the image below in between the top two lines, in Prezi mode I could insert that image into it, but here I have no way to accomplish that, so oh well haha. It is meant to read:

"To the feeder full of seeds he dashes,

stuffs his cheeks.

The chickadee and titmouse scold him,

down he streaks.")

I really do love these drawings, it was my first attempt at making a childrens book, and looking back I sort of want to re do it in more detail. Plus, there is more to the poem as well. There are a few things I would like to update, mostly to correct the words but also to touch up the drawings and fill in some plot holes haha.

I wonder where the original artwork is anyways? I am not sure at all where that could be. Somewhere in the black hole of my closet and baskets of illustrations. I suppose I just gotta redo the whole thing haha, should be fun!

If you would like to get a full reading of this cute and joyful poem, here is a video you can watch of Brad Craft reading the whole poem The Chipmunks Day by Randall Jerrel;

Thank you for your time today friends! Sorry it is a quick post, I am getting ready for a terribly busy weekend and walked all the way down the snowy mountain today too! I will be posting about the film fest and about other stuff if I have the time haha.

Here are some bonus pics from our hike;

Yeah, this is how roads are plowed in Canada on a rural mountain.

Apparently, these guys want to get to work rock digging since they have a quary around these parts.

This was unusual, but not incredibly so. Unusual things happen a lot in my life!

I hope you enjoyed this cute poem, the drawings of a cute chipmonk, and the odd pictures from our hike! It is always my pleasure to share with you guys in the Steemverse <3
