Help Amber illustrate her next book: Where’d Turkey Go?

While the story itself is fully written, I am searching for the second, very important part to go with that – the illustrations!

For my first book “Where’d Cow Go?” I commissioned Rebecca Shuttleworth, a talented local artist and rancher with an eye for animal illustration. After sending her my stick-figure page layouts Rebecca brought the story to life. I have been thinking a lot about who will bring this next story to life and my mind keeps coming back to all of you! Each day I see the talent from this group on social media and through sent artwork. I feel it only makes sense to include those who have supported me in my journey for so many years. I am turning to my fans for help. I am holding an official search for the illustrator of “Where’d Turkey Go” over the next couple of weeks and here is how to enter:

The book is about Sweetpea the Turkey, who was born on my farm and found a wonderful forever home with my friend Katie.

You can see more pictures of Sweetpea for reference via her Instagram hashtag: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/sweetpeatheturkey/

Here is a sneak peek excerpt from the book for inspiration for you:

 

She longs for a place where her beauty will shine.
A home she could dance and would fit in just fine.

 

 

Please email your submissions to submissions@ambermarshall.com and be sure to include the following:
