Most recently, my friend Lisa Connors wrote a new children's book in her "...but that's not all" series. 
It's called Salmon Matters: How a Fish Feeds a Forest, and she invited me to illustrate it. 
I worked on it for about 6 months ~ researching the concepts presented and learning new art techniques. 
I've included several images here, but if you want to have a copy of the book, here's the Amazon link:

Salmon Matters: How a Fish Feeds a Forest is a story of sea to forest connections in the Pacific Northwest. 
Perhaps you remember, Milkweed Matters which Lisa wrote and I illustrated.  This book presents another amazing story ~ this time on the coho salmon ~ its birth, life, travels, perils, and the renewal of forest nutrients thanks to its incredible life story.
