The Sea Wasp (Ryk E. Spoor)

Ugu! Yes! The moment I saw that Dove, I knew that was who he had to be. ♥ I'd forgotten about Mrs. Yoop, though, probably because I never had a copy of Tin Woodman. I was thinking Ruggedo.

I love your interaction between the Rainbow and his daughter. I was always disappointed that Baum never showed us Polychrome's family or home, so this fills a real void! Thank you. And so tender. I'm a sucker for affectionate parent-child scenes.

Eeee! The Little Pink Bear!

If you couldn't tell, I'm loving this. Thanks so much for posting it.
