This picture was a runner up for the 2013 Tomie dePaola award from SCBWI.

Here is the quote from Tomie dePaola:

“Stephen Ingram’s illustration from the Yearling was heartbreaking. I can’t imagine the reader not tearing up.”

I am very excited to receive this honor and it was incredibly fun to do the illustration. I used traditional pen and ink and Arches hot press watercolor paper.
