Two New Lovable Characters From Ripley Publishing

ORLANDO, Fla., May 2, 2019 (Newswire.com) - ​Will Gabby conquer her fear of the dark? Will Norman find a way to fly? Join these two lovable characters as they get themselves into silly situations and, ultimately, find out that not everything turns out quite like they expect in the latest heartwarming series of illustrated storybooks by Ripley Publishing.

Gabby and the Dark and Norman and the Flight, both named after Ripley Aquarium mascots, are sympathetic adventures told with highly expressive illustrations to surprise and delight kids and adults alike with storylines that kids can relate to in their daily lives.

Hand-painted in watercolor, Gabby and the Dark and Norman and the Flight are illustrated by John Graziano, officially the seventh artist to take up the pen since Robert Ripley originated the "Believe It or Not!" cartoon panel in 1918.
