Happy Thanksgiving from Chloe Pink and Pete. May your yams be the yummiest ever.
There is a real Pete. He is eight years old and going on nine. A Scottish Terrier mutt with soft fur, a crazy bark and a curly tail, who makes my heart want to sing and my hand want to draw. He is a gentle, but smart creature. We are perfectly in sync. And I know of no other who loves life more. Sharn'
Chloe Pink™ is a little girl with a big message: “Follow Your Dreams, Girls!” A young feminist with a pink baseball cap, she just wants girls to believe in themselves and have the courage to follow their dreams. (She wants the same for boys, too, btw. She just feels that girls especially need to hear this message again and again and again and...well, you get the idea.
So, after putting pen to paper to draw Chloe Pink in 2006, I decided that Chloe Pink needed a few more friends. Don't we all? (Of course, let's not forget. She already has the best friend of all in Pete, her scottish terrier mutt pal. Pete supports Chloe Pink's every move like only a true friend can and DOES.)
And what do you know? Along they came. More friends for Chloe Pink and YOU.
Let's see. There's Chloe Pink's "boy" friend, Owen Green™ of course. He's a boy and he's a friend. OG, as I like to call him, is very socially conscious and wants to save the planet. Watch for Owen Green to encourage kids to "Go Green" with him!
Then there's Brooklyn. Brooklyn™ is one part bookworm one part fashionista. She's probably Chloe Pink's BFF, but they are very different. While Chloe Pink would rather spend time analyzing the different colors of leaves on the trees, Brooklyn loves to shop for every color of skirts and shirts and dresses in the store -- That's when she's not reading a book or studying to ace a test.
Chloe Pink's gang also includes JenBall,™ a super athlete who coaches and cheers on kids to exercise and play sports.
And when they're done, they can head on over to Maria Chocolata's™ cupcake stand. Maria is a young entrepreneur who loves to bake and sell her delicious creations.
So there you have it! A sneak peak at the characters starring in The Chloe Pink Doodle & Dream Book, Volume II. Coming this fall.
If you haven't checked out Chloe Pink's Doodle & Dream Coloring Book #1 yet, it's time to get started! " And while you're at it, don't forget! Follow your dreams, girls (and boys).
