Gail was asked to create eight cover images for Zaner Bloser handwriting books used by schoolchildren from Kindergarten to Grade 6. Gail expains, "In each of the illustrations a yellow pencil forms an integral part of the image, and each grade has its own theme and dominant color. Handwritten pages from within the books were also included in the images in both English and Spanish versions. At the end, the client selected 2 of the images to have framed and shipped for hanging in their offices."
