Problem Puppets

We have been making stories on Sara's bags for about 4 years now, I have taken one of the stories and started making other illustrations from them and compiling them into a different format, breaking them out of the kraft paper world and introducing other colors and expanding the images.  This story revolved around the actions of a puppet who wanted to bring Sara back home and what he does to the school and how Sara and her family repairs the damage.
