I wrote a short story called "The Yekko" for kids. But I need pictures. Anybody of any age or any artistic ability can draw pictures for The Yekko.
The Yekko

There is a creature called a yekko. Few people have ever seen one. When you shout, it shouts back to you.
A yekko lives in the hallway outside the daycare where Lev and Evy and Grace go to school. They like to call to it and listen for it to call back.
The daycare teacher doesn't like the yekko.
This is a photograph of the yekko at the daycare. I took it. It is the only photograph of a yekko that has ever been taken. They are very tricky.
It is a small lizard-like creature, but as you can see, it has a very big mouth. Don't worry though, it only eats honeyflies and sargasso beans.
They do not eat toes. That is a myth.
It needs such a big mouth for making its call which is sometimes very loud. Besides hallways, yekkos live in valleys and mountain passes. In fact, yekkos live in all sorts of spots.
Even though you can hear their calls many places you probably will never see one. But if you visit Lev and Evy and Grace at daycare make sure to call out to the yekko. (Maybe don't wear sandals. Just in case.)
