Chipmunk Quandary

 
My current challenge is to write Evershade picture books based on the characters in my novels.
 
It sounds easy enough, but there is this whole internal debate about how I go about this. Do I select a favorite scene from a novel and convert that into a story? Do I dream up moments when the characters were young and write about their adventures? Or do I simply make up something entirely new?
 
Well, maybe a little of each.
 
I would like Roan to have his own book. Though he would be appalled, I am considering crafting a story about his younger days. He's a bit grim as an adult chipmunk for a picture book audience, but maybe when he was younger he was a little more mellow....
 
Maybe....
