June

So, I'm not really sure what to think of the new book Madeleine started writing and illustrating today:

June!

"A selcy song."

It's a bit reassuring that June is a selkie, I guess, because without that detail I might assume she was a drowned corpse floating along the river.

Arora borealis's"
"Hununges ice beargs"

Hmm.  June still looks like a corpse to me.  And she's obviously in some kind of danger, because July and Rita sure are rushing over to her in alarm.  Also, is July like Pig Pen from "Charlie Brown" or something?  What is that all over her face?  And finally, does anybody else think that one of these names doesn't belong?  June, July, and...Rita.



Here's the next page of the book:

"June's Secret!"


Either June doesn't have any secrets, or Madeleine got distracted and ran off to do something else instead.
