Leo: A Fairytale

I wrote and illustrated this fairytale in response to my own grief about the short-sightedness and greed at the heart of the Alberta tar sands, and the greater and greater environmental devastation it's causing every day.

What story could I tell that would explain what is happening and offer a glimmer of hope for the future? The fairytale format allowed me to make believe and come up with a nice clean fix with my magic wand! This section shows the illustrations of the small book I produced, which you can purchase here.
