Clark the Shark Takes Heart

Description: "Clark tries to impress his crush with his usual enthusiasm but he discovers that being thoughtful is more important than being flashy when it comes to showing that he cares"--

Brief description:

Guy Francis spends most of his time drawing, painting, and drawing some more. He has done a variety of illustration work in the children's market, including editorial and educational illustration, chapter books, and picture books. He freelances from his home in Provo, Utah, where his wife and four children are his own personal art critics and bring a healthy bit of chaos to the studio. Every now and then he gets out of the house and heads to the mountains with his family. You can visit him online at www.guyfrancis.com.
