I decided one squirrel could wear clothing, of a sort. I wanted the drawings to be sort of cartoon-y, graphic novel-y:Īlso, it wasn’t going to be the kind of book where the squirrels wore clothing, so it took me a little while to work out how to distinguish one squirrel from another: I have drawn lots of people, and a fair number of dogs, but I had only drawn squirrels a couple of times. A few weeks went by, and it still made me laugh, so I started making up a little story. Where did it come from? A few years ago, I was working on another project when the phrase “the squirrel who cried wolf” popped into my head. I’m publishing this page of the website on August 26, 2014, the official release date for the book, but it’s a work-in-progress and I hope to add more to it over time. Well, four main squirrels, and a bunch of others. Nuts to You is a middle-grade (ages 8-12) novel an adventure story about a squirrel.
