Deep in a cave at the bottom of a graveyard,
Lived a little zombie, and his name was Ziggy Zou.
Ziggy lived alone and had nobody to play with.
He wished someone would visit him. He'd like a friend or two.

#SCBWIartober 2 Nocturnal
Being a helpful Grandma today, but took a moment to sketch a Nocturnal pest that helps itself to items in my yard and gardens. Opossums are creepy looking as well. #kidlit #kidlitart #illustrator
