Monkey and Me

Do you remember, I had a project I didn't finish. It was way too big for me. Recently I was given a small book for my girls : "Monkey and Me" by Emily Gravett, and to be honest this was IT! In my personal opinion this is exactly how my main character should look like:

Mine was too cute... and I was already tired trying to find her...anyway, hope the author has found what
she was looking for and the publisher agreed to her choice. As far as I know it is not the writer part of the job to look for an illustrator, is it?

This is a reminder how mine character looked like when I stopped to work on her...
