Bug Harold
The Don Quixote of the bug world
Artwork by Sienna Gonzales
I’ve written some children’s books about Bug Harold. Bug Harold imagines himself a valiant knight. In each adventure, Bug Harold journeys forth to conquer the latest villain, be it a ferocious snap dragon in the night garden, or the crazed Crayfish McClaw in his watery lair.
Each quest concludes with a cute twist and a happy ending.
Read the first few verses below. I’m looking for an agent to represent my books, so if you know of anyone…
Excerpt from Bug Harold and the Snapdragon
The moon is perfectly round
A gentle mist lies on the ground
Tonight the crickets make no sound
This is a story of comic peril
Like those penned by Lewis Carrol
Staring the young and restless Bug Harold
Bug Harold is no ordinary pest
He wears a pin upon his vest
“You’ve seen the rest, now see the best!”
Excerpt from Bug Harold and the Crayfish
Straddling a water strider
With 2 legs fewer than a spider
Poised for action, our intrepid rider
Harold scans the shimmering stream
Flowing gently and serene
But things aren’t always what they seem
The water bugs reported news
A tale so frightening they could not snooze
Young minnows lured by a clever ruse
Into the voracious maw
Of the most fearsome giant you ever saw
None other than Crayfish McClaw
