Illustrations for a work-in-progress, Mortimer Mole (Went for a Stroll!). The manuscript won first place in the Picture Book category of the 2015 Writer's Day Work in Progress contest sponsored by the Los Angeles County chapter of SCBWI (http://losangeles.scbwi.org/writers-days-wip-contest-2015/).

Here is what the judge said about the manuscript:

"The winner in the picture book category is deftly crafted by Pauline Ts’o with buoyant text.

        Mortimer Mole went for a stroll
        On a very fine day in May.


        No need to fear,
        The sky is clear…


        Mostly…

Mortimer Mole (Went for a Stroll!) balances playful poetry while delivering a delightful character-driven story. Mood and atmosphere run the gamut from happy and sunny to dark and scary. It concludes with a surprisingly silly, but sweet twist that brings us back to the start of the stroll, albeit with two new friends."
