Capturing how depression can look and feel for kids requires a careful blend of text and imagery. 2 years later, I'm still in awe of how beautifully this book came together. @pennynl.bsky.social @kidscanpress.bsky.social

Happy to see Dark Cloud by me and @pennynl.bsky.social included in this booklist from Publishers Weekly. ☁️

Got to see the cover of Dark Cloud in Turkish and unlocked a new author milestone!

Abigail had a flutter of butterflies But so did someone else. He sat beside her on the bench and didn't have to say a word. A lot of big feelings in the world today. Felt like a good time to share this from DARK CLOUD. Words by me, art by @pennynl.bsky.social.

Abigail had a dark cloud One day, it just appeared The opening lines of DARK CLOUD, by me and Penny Neville-Lee, describing the moment depression becomes part of Abigail's life. October 10th is World Mental Health Day, the perfect day to make sure everyone can see themselves in the books they read.

Visited the legendary Wild Rumpus in Minneapolis to sign copies of DARK CLOUD and T. REXES CAN’T TIE THEIR SHOES. Always happy to visit incredible indie bookstores when I’m on the road. 🦖👟☁️❤️

A lovely image by @pennynl.bsky.social that captures the bond between Abigail and her dad in DARK CLOUD. #kidlit #fathersday

When your husband is an elementary school teacher and I Love to Read month rolls around… Such a nice surprise to see this Dark Cloud inspired door!

If you’re a picture book author, do you include illustration notes? Check out my take, and which ones illustrator @pennynl.bsky.social used and set aside in DARK CLOUD. www.annalazowskibooks.com/blog/illustr...

Jumping on the dresses as book covers trend thanks to Natalie Portman at the Golden Globes! Clearly inspired by @pennynl.bsky.social’s Dark Cloud cover!

Another book for little ones dealing with big emotions is headed for bookshelves in 2026!

When your husband’s an elementary school teacher, your books get prime placement!
