Eddie, who studied graphic design in college, illustrated the children's book, collaborating with his mom, Karen White Fieg, who wrote the story for her home economics class in 7th grade!
The book is currently for sale on Etsy, "the world's most vibrant handmade marketplace," according to their official website. Here is the sales pitch:
"Benny is a little pink lion who just wants his roar back.
"Originally created in 1968 by a 12-year-old girl from upstate New York, this delightful, simple story has been lovingly reimagined by her adult son nearly fifty years later.
"Handwritten by Karen White in 1968 at age 12; illustrated and designed by Eddie Fieg in 2015 at age 30
"This is a 38-page, 9.75" x 8.25" landscape hardcover book with original illustrations in full color. Ideal for ages 2 to 4.
"Each copy is signed by the illustrator and comes with a free bookmark! "
This will certainly be a collector's item and a welcome addition to the Fieg family bookshelf, to sit proudly beside Das Buch von Pferde, a book about horses illustrated by Great-uncle Hermann Fieg and Why There Aren't Many Witches, a book of children's stories written by FFN founder V. Philip Fieg. Congrats, Eddie!
