Adding in Words

For this project, unlike projects i've done in the past, I wanted to add in words to tell the story so that the illustrations didn't have to tell the story by themselves. Though once I started adding in words to the illustrations it ruined it slightly or the words were too illegible. The answer I came up with and was backed up was to put all the writing in the beginning of the book as a sort of poem/sea shanty, which works a lot better for me and for the book in all.
