Not All Fluff
(Proposal)
Picture Book, 32 pages
By Lalena Fisher
Sheila loves rocking out on the cool old drum kit she found in the shed.
That is, until the other sheep say she's not fluffy enough, and can't
possibly be a sheep—or a girl—at all. While Sheila laments to a sweet
sheepdog with a knack for knitting,
coyotes suddenly show up howling and growling for dinner! And Sheila summons her
inner rock star. She finds that rather than being an outsider, she is a leader.
Not All Fluff is a 373-word, humorous story poking fun
at stereotypes - particularly those about gender.
This book was inspired by all the girls I've coached at Rock and
Roll Camp for Girls since 2005.
The mixed-media illustrations
will be painted with acrylic and spray paint on patterned fabric. Here
are a few sample spreads from the sketched dummy book, plus an example illustration.
