Hi, I’m Alena, a children’s book illustrator, and I am so excited to share a page from a wonderful project I had the absolute joy of illustrating: "The Island That Tucks You In" written by Talia Oddo!
This beautiful book takes young readers on a guided journey through the magical, real-life destination of Mackinac Island, Michigan! It’s a unique place where cars aren't allowed—meaning only horses and bicycles can get you where you need to go.
This scene introduces Grady, a sweet spotted horse who lives on the island and know many bedtime stories that he is ready to tell kids to make their sleep restfull and peacefull. For this illustration, I wanted to capture Grady's playful personality as he explores the island landscapes—including a very curious stop by a green asparagus patch! I used soft digital watercolor textures and a bright, fresh palette to evoke the crisp, sunny feeling of a summer island getaway.
🛒 You can order your copy of "The Island That Tucks You In" right now on Amazon! It’s the perfect, whimsical bedtime read-aloud for little adventurers.
🎨 Are you an author writing a story set in a real or magical location? From local landmarks to whimsical animal characters, I love transforming real-world inspirations into bright, print-ready children's books. I handle everything from character consistency to your final layout files.
💌 Let's bring your book to life! I am currently booking illustration spots for upcoming self-publishing projects. DM me to discuss your manuscript, or tap the link in my bio to view my rates and full portfolio!

While crossing Lake Huron on a trip to Mackinac Island last week, I was reminded that direction matters more than speed.
A few degrees off course today can become miles tomorrow.
Most of us spend our lives watching the clock.
How fast am I moving?
Am I behind?
Am I running out of time?
But perhaps the better question is:
Am I headed where I truly want to go?
A small course correction today can change everything.
If you'd like to read the full reflection, it's in this week's newsletter. Link in bio.

50 miles is a long time to just keep your legs moving, so for me it helped if my mouth was moving also....and here's some of what came from that.
I was grateful that even though we started with this larger group, I got to ride most of the ride with my cousin.
It was drizzling when we started but it turned into quite a downpour by mile 10. Heading downhill being pelted by cold rain wasn’t exactly the “weekend away” I had envisioned.
But we kept talking about random things, one of which was FUN.
He laughed at my “fun audit” I did on myself (I admit that could be an oxymoron, but not for this logical and rational analyzer!).
See, we often mistake FUN as an activity, when it’s really an emotional state.
It’s a feeling that happens when you have the magic combination of Connection, Flow, and Playfulness (from the amazing Catherine Price - I have indeed read her entire 300 page book on FUN). 😄
And I realized that even through the rain, this hit many of my personal fun factors: physical activity, 2-way conversation, a challenge, some introspection about life in general, and nature / outdoors.
So by the time we got to the half-way stop, the sun had come out, we ate lunch overlooking beautiful Lake Michigan, and decided to carry on to finish the ride.
And…it was...FUN.
I encourage you to find (which usually means plan) some fun this summer.
Think about the elements that you usually find in the “fun times” you have, and make it a point to put yourself into those circumstances more often.
