owl always read to you

One of our favourite knock-knock jokes goes like this:
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Owl.
Owl, who?
Owl always love you.
Once Esmé understood how ‘owl’ is a play on ‘I’ll,’ she ran with it. One of the ones she came up with had the very sweet punchline of “Owl always read to you.”
Which inspired this illustration, which now hangs above one of the bookshelves we keep for library books.
I don’t pull a radio flyer wagon to the library, and I don’t have an apron that cute, and I don’t let Esmé perch atop the 100 books we take out each week, and I don’t make Hawk push it home either. But I do pull a really ugly Rosler, and yes it can carry 100 books. And Esmé does often read on the walk home. And Hawk is usually quite eager to help push.
I experimented with butcher paper for this illustration, and used Micron pens and Prismacolour pencils.
