A personal story, held inside a wider world.

Family running toward a yellow taxi in Woodside

The journey begins in Woodside, Queens, with a four-year-old boy twisting back toward the pigeons as his mother pulls him toward an airport taxi. From there, a family memory opens into a summer in County Sligo.

Writing, direction, and image making

Writing
All written text is the original work of Mark M. Magner, developed around family memory, place, and a child’s sense of wonder.

Creative direction
Mark shaped the story world, character moments, pacing, compositions, and the visual continuity that carries the reader from Queens to Ireland.

Illustration approach
The artwork was developed with AI image tools under Mark’s creative direction through an iterative process of visual development, selection, and refinement. The project is transparent about that process and is shared with respect for the distinct craft of traditional illustration.
