Robby Raccoon's Tail of Magic

By Dan Hayashi

An extraordinarily small raccoon. named Robby, has bad childhood dream episodes, and turns them into positive experiences by simply wagging his tail. When awake, however, he accidentally discovers that his tail's wagging powers are very real. Robby controls magical kinetic energy forces by the whipping force of his tail. Adding to his self-consciousness, he also has a reading disability, due to very poor vision. But his mother assists him by getting him a pair of thick eyeglasses. The myopic & meek little raccoon's life changes for the best as clearer eyesight boosts his self-confidence. His life is also better improved when his criminal father is captured and finally imprisoned for robbing homes. Rob's dad can no longer repeatedly oppress and belittle him. In acts of selflessness, Robby decides to use his gift to help others, just as his mother helps him. He becomes all creatures' champion by helping their thirst. With the passage of time, Robby's powers become legendary and his kinetic gift becomes exaggerated, remaking him a comic superhero.

Dan Hayashi

After a Batchelor's Degree in Fine Arts, with a minor in psychology from Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, CA in 1968, (now Calif. Inst. of the Arts, Sylmar, CA) I was drafted and spent 2 years in the military. A few years after returning home, my wife & I opened a computer graphics company in Lawndale, CA. We thrived. Though always interested in writing, my literary interests were put aside by business demands, until retiring in 1996. In 2010, I was serendipitously commissioned to illustrate a children's card game & two kid's books by a new company. This re-ignited my desires to combine my writing & caricature skills to publish children's books of my own. It was the perfect culmination of timing & the synergy of friendship. My new friend reinvigorated my dreams of authorship. I wrote & illustrated my first book in 2012, then another in December, 2013. Two more were published Dec, 2014 & June, 2015. I just completed my best so far, August 2015 is a preorder eBook. I have now authored & illustrated 5 animal tales & Illustrated a fellow author's 2 kiddy books & designed his children's card game art. I promise many more children's objects of entertainment & animal stories..
