The Artist’s Promise is a delightful story of unlikely friendship, creative vision, and artistic resilience.
Sancho, a donkey with perspective, and Bub, a boy with talent, support one another along their journeys to becoming thriving artists.
In their encounter while Bub is still young and hopeful of fulfilling his dream of becoming an artist, Sancho plays a pivotal role in daring Bub to believe that he is capable and becoming an artist isn’t only possible, but vital.
Though the course of Bub’s life leads him far away from his roots, Sancho is there to welcome him home and remind him it is never too late to follow one’s passions and express freely.
Warmly relatable and with a childlike purity, The Artist’s Promise reminds the reader of their own dreams and their lasting possibility.
Will Bub— and will you— believe in the vision of a great artistic calling over the pressure to conform to the world?
A poignant and timely story of staying true to the journey of the artist and live with a meaningful perspective.

“The Artist’s Promise is a beautifully crafted children’s chapter book that invites readers into a world where creativity and self-expression are celebrated. Set in a world that often overlooks the value of creative pursuits, The Artist’s Promise reminds readers of all ages that artistry exists in many forms, whether in painting, leading, or simply living with imagination. It reflects the timeless themes of resilience, bravery, and the joy of following one’s inner vision, making it a powerful story for young readers navigating their own creative journeys. Perfect for readers young and old, this delightful story encourages a lifelong embrace of creativity, urging us all to honor the artist within.” - Avery Crouse
"The Artist’s Promise is a genuinely collaborative effort of writers and artists. As such, the consistency of its presentation is awe-inspiring. The mood, the message, and the story all work together seamlessly to engage the reader with hypnotic fascination. While the storyline may seem deceptively simple—a donkey befriends a child artist who becomes famous—the narrative describing their friendship (and each other’s becoming an adult) lures the reader effortlessly but irresistibly. I found it impossible to stop turning the pages, beguiled equally by the story and its marvelous illustrations." - Joel Dennstedt
