Part of the fun of writing a children’s book is the unlimited palate of fanciful characters and situations available. I have said it before, but I would purposefully compose scenes that I thought would be murder to illustrate. Ruler Of Space really let me “go crazy”, so we found our main character zooming through space on Nintendo-esque X-rays and having their hair cut by cats wearing rocket packs.
Compared to those, playing hockey on Neptune was pretty tame! Perhaps I forgot to mention the opposing team… take a look.
