Mr. Skandinoovy’s Humble Beginnings
The character of Mr. Skandinoovy was created by Hope Schmidgall when she was about 9 years old. He was first sketched up in one of Hope’s “paper-and-staples” books she used to create. Years later, she has given life to this likable character in her first children’s book going live today!
Hope has spent dozens and dozens of hours creating the 50-plus hand-drawn illustrations that are found in her new book. As part of her homeschool education, she learned an artistic app called Procreate on her iPad, using her Apple Pencil to draw and colorize her illustrations. It didn’t take her long to figure out the layers and artistic tools! We just can’t wait to get this work of hers onto your reading device and into your hands! From the hilarious and endearing story of Mr. Skandinoovy to the comical and colorful illustrations, this BRAND NEW release truly is a work of art!
