Yoo Hoo!!!   Here comes the third book in the hilarious Cajun fairytale series written by Mike Artell (and illustrated by me.)

I can’t show you too much, since it isn’t officially on sale yet, but here’s a few sneak peeks!

Here’s Jacques heading off to market with his MaMa’s cow…

‘Jacques Sells the Cow’ from Jacques and de Beanstalk, a new Cajun fairy tale from Mike Artell and Jim Harris.

Here’s Jacques, fresh from an amazing transaction with a mysterious peddler, counting his precious beans… 1,2,3,4,5…

‘Jacques Counts the Beans’ from Jacques and de Beanstalk, the Cajun-style Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale, illustrated by Jim Harris.

And, here is what Jacques’ Cajun MaMa thinks of those beans…

‘MaMa Throws Out the Magic Beans’ from Jacques and de Beanstalk, a fairy tale illustrated by Jim Harris.

As you may suspect, the suspenseful tale of Jacques and the Beanstalk  reaches its happy conclusion solely as a result of the bravery Jacques displays in the face of danger…  distress…  and a beautiful damsel. 

Well, maybe not a beautiful damsel.

Here, you take a look and decide about that…  

‘Jacques in the Giant’s Bread Box’ from Jacques and de Beanstalk, another bayou fairy tale with art by Jim Harris.

And that’s all I can tell you right now!!!! 

I’m busy painting!
