The Snowman of Sydenham

I am working on my new Book "The Snowman of Sydenham". Here are some early sketches of the 3 main characters, The Snowman of Sydenham, The Full Snow Moon, and Lord Sydenham. The story is about a snowman made from the post and clothes of the Old Scarecrow, who takes his job of clearing the snow to extreme measures.
It was the last day of school,
As winter holiday had begun,
But you wouldn't know it in Sydenham,
The village was green and glum.

And the Snowman of Sydenham,
Was so proud of this sight,
Keeping Sydenham green,
Was his one and only delight.



So the man in the moon swooped his chin down low, 
And scooped up all of Sydenham's snow.

In 1839, Lord Sydenham proclaimed for all time,
That the village with his family's name,
Forever would remain the same,
A place full of laughter, fun and joy,
A wonderland for every girl and boy.
