A new #portfolio piece from KT Literary’s monthly art prompt for March: LEPRECHAUN! #kidlit #comic #kidscomic

Here is a handout I made for my kid’s class last week, when I went in to talk to them about making books. I Frankensteined together a bunch of art I already had to make it, and filled other stuff in. But it was a big hit, so I’m sharing it here in case you know any kids interested in making books!

Happy Valentine’s Day 🐞 #kidlitart

i like to put it this way: bookbans are a bigger punch-in-the-gut than most writing and publishing road hazards because the people behind them hate you and your book so much that they’ll get the government involved, fire people from their jobs, and close libraries down over it.

I’ve been working on a book with an evil porcupine character and started to wonder what she’d do if she received a #Valentine. Hope your sweetheart treats you better than this! #kidlit #kidscomics

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

Beyond disappointed to see trans people erased from the Stonewall National Monument page given that trans people are an integral part of Stonewall's history. If you're also disgusted at this ahistorical change, please flood the page's feedback form: www.nps.gov/ston/index.h...

#BlackHistoryMonth: Since the National Park Service wants to erase the T from Stonewall, let's spill the T through the Stonewall Community Foundation. The first story here is of Frances Thompson, a trans black activist born in 1840.

Oooo I would read this!

Just put all three of these ebooks on hold through my library! Fingers crossed they become available in time for my kids’ “read-a-thon” next week! 🤞🤞

Whoa. Just got granted access to the beta version of @flashes.blue and it works exactly like Insta, but, it’s also… your Bluesky account. This displays the value proposition of @atproto.com better than anything else I’ve seen. This is the way.

Now more than ever.

More of this please!

#kidlitartpostcard is an example of what I mean. It’s about building community, lowering the barriers to entry, inclusion, and equity. It’s about self-affirmation. Sharing a postcard might feel frivolous in the face of everything that’s going on, but it too is an act of resistance.

Hey #kidlitartpostcard! I’m Allison, a Seattle-based author-illustrator, and I love kidlit comics like a beaver loves branches! I’m represented by @adriagoetz of @ktliterary

Would love to see the cishet white men of kidlit get vocal in the fight against book bans. Literally ALL the rest of us are being silenced. You're the only ones who truly have a chance of being listened to here. Staying silent is a political choice, too ✌🏽

My teen/tween have typical sibling disagreements, but sometimes they take turns reading aloud to each other from their favorite series, and my worries cease for a moment. Books can be a window, mirror, door, plane ticket, escape, refuge, or a peace treaty. They are never the villain. #KidLit

If you're an unagented writer or author/illustrator of picture books, I hope you'll enter the 2025 #PBParty contest. It has helped make so many agent and editor matches in the past...and we can't wait to see the magical matches that will happen this year. mindyalyseweiss.com/2025-pbparty...
