Jason Polan and I just did a four part story for Abe's Peanut: A Micro-Magazine for Children. It's called "The Fish" and it's about a raccoon.

She was tender. Soft as a sand dune after a windstorm.
Back in the before days, she would wake up and stretch those arms out across the sky, her left hand arched over the Baffin Islands, her right curled up under her jaw, her elbow casting a swaying shadow over the Jack Pine Forests of Saskatchewan. She was a tangle of stretching and yawning, and I would let slip a quiet sigh from where I lay, snuggled down along the south shore of Lake Erie, my head pillowed up on the Adirondacks.
