Actually, the palmetto log fort surrendered almost without a shot in 1780, didn't it? The ship you show could actually be firing on either Fort Moultrie (as it was called then), or on one of the batteries at Mt. Pleasant. Anyway, it's great.

I visited Tybee Island a lot during my time in Savannah but never knew that. I love hearing about the history behind places.

Happy to see that you are so excited about working on our series of picture books about Revolutionary War history in SC--but really depressed that your illustration is so much better than the ones I did for PALMETTO: SYMBOL OF COURAGE.<br />Of course, you are not as lazy as I am, and you do so much more research. As a cartoonist, I tend to do just a little research and then go, "Okay, that's enough," and just fake the rest.<br />You're doing great work. I was moved by your rant on "passion." Daddy and I, as you know, visit many public schools here in SC in my role as a picture book author. We have seen teachers on fire with a passion for their work, and children eager to learn. We have seen hallways full of artwork and writing by children. The school buildings themselves may be second-rate, but not the teaching. Hope our governor's jones for school vouchers won't deflect resources from public school opportunities. Just want to say we're proud of the work you're doing!
