The Big Down

This is first of three children’s book collaborations between Annmarie Geniusz (Illustrator) and Rhiannon Hewitt (Poet). “The Big Down” was published in 2016. The series of illustrations featured are done in pen and ink, with the original intension being a coloring book style. The cover is done in oil pastel. This original story was created by Rhiannon Hewitt, daughter of two of Annmarie’s oldest friends from art school. Rhiannon and Annmarie have been pen pals since Rhiannon was three years old, learning to write. The book collaborations grew out of these shared hand written and illustrated series of letters over the years. At the time of publication, Rhiannon was 5 years old at the time of this collaboration. It is available for purchase through blurp.com. A portion of the proceeds go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
