transportation - (by sugar glider)

This week's posting for Illustration Friday. The little boy is being transported in his sleep by magical sugar gliders.
Above is a photo of a sugar glider in flight - which is the animal in the illustration above. These spunky little guys look a bit like squirrels but they are marsupials (like kangaroos and koalas). They glide by stretching out there bodies to help them float from tree-top to tree-top. Quite the little acrobats.
Cheers!

Thanks for your comment on my blog! You chose a creative treatment of this week's topic. I love the idea of the flying squirrels (unless sugar gliders are something else all together?)
