If you were at the beaver festival this year and strolled by the silent auction, you were probably intrigued by something that looked like this. It was the very generous donation made by illustrator Sara Aycock of Boise Idaho. I found her on Etsy and asked if she’d consider donating to the festival.
Hers was an incredibly generous gift that made me tear up when I opened it. Each item was bid on multiple times and sold for top dollar and for good reason. Every beautiful portrait was lovingly framed, and the largest (Mr. Beaverton) was purchased by our Oregon visitor at the Beaver Ambassador program in West Linn.
At the time that she agreed to help out she told me that she had a book coming soon that the images were part of, which sounded pretty exciting.
Guess what book is available Monday through Amazon Prime?
I can’t wait to read what kind of mysteries beavers solve, and I pre-ordered my copy already. If you want yours go here and join the club. I’m not familiar with the author, but I’m sure Sara’s wonderful work would bring out the best in anyone. Read along with me so we can review the book on Amazon and boost her sales.

August 28, 2017 at 4:13 pmMy folks who live in Boise told of an art festival happening (happened?) soon. I requested another Mr. Beaverton if they were to find Sara. I had planned to send Mr. Beaverton to relations in the town of Beaverton, but my wife was somewhat selfish and wanted to keep it for herself!

August 29, 2017 at 7:08 amHello Esteban! I’m happy to hear you and your wife enjoy Mr. Beaverton! Unfortunately, I will not have a booth at the upcoming Art in the Park in Boise. However you can shop anytime at my Etsy shop! The prints that were at the festival were giclee fine art prints, but I also have digital prints available. Thank you!
