This Children’s book was a personal, full color project done with both digital and traditional mediums. I have a true passion for entertaining children. Before I was a designer, or an animator I was a professional magician. Although I don’t perform professionally anymore, my friends children all know me as the funny guy who does magic. The spark of light ignited in a child’s face when they laugh, are amazed, or even intrigued is something I thrive on.

The book is about a young boy who’s arms are too long. Over time he starts become more and more ashamed of his unnatural state and tries to hide his unique physique. The story then continues to unfold as Larry, our hero with long arms, learns that everyone has a place no matter who they are, what they look like, how smart or funny they are, and least of all how long their arms may be.
