One book begins with everyone sleepy and they wake up and the second book begins with everyone restless and unable to relax and they soothe out and you’re obviously going to sleep at the end. So they do this.
Right, and with The Napping House you illustrated the book of course during — it was all the pictures are illustrated during the day whereas -
True. A gray day, but a day.
Full Moon at The Napping House it’s all night paintings and that was hard for you even though you’re a great artist.
Which was the challenge because it’s an interior night and it has to look like night and yet obviously the characters have to be legible.
Yeah, I’ll give you a night picture. Yeah.
So that was an extreme challenge, that and going back to my 32 year old self to, you know, match this guy who was pretty good to my surprise.
Basically what — I’ll tell you what happened. In The Napping House, everyone was asleep and they had to awaken so there was a flea that that woke everybody up but in The Full Moon at the Napping House everyone is restless so I needed a character that would calm them down, not wake them up but calm them down because every single character was just awake because of the moon just like I was and that was a challenge finding the right character.
