Gertie the Goldfish and the Golden Rule, the planned follow-up to Naomi's charming Gertie the Goldfish and the Christmas Surprise, explored the power of empathy, fairness, and compassion.
Though the book was ultimately never released, Naomi worked with beloved illustrators Tom Bancroft and Rob Corley to develop the cover and character designs. Shown here are rare early sketches and the completed cover.
