For sure! 👍👏 So glad you enjoyed ALA, Delano 😀

At ALA, I get to speak with #librarians, because without them and #libraries, how can we share our #talents, #knowledge, #gifts, #cultures, & other forms of written communication! Go visit a #library, get a library card, & read a book this summer, fall, winter, & spring! Sept 15, 'My Neighborhood'!

Wonderful! Congrats, Sylvia! 🎉🎉👏👏 Good luck 🍀

As many suspected, taxpayers will end up footing part of the bill for the new White House ballroom after all. According to a new report from The Washington Post, the estimated cost of the project has now climbed to $600 million, with roughly half expected to come from taxpayer dollars.

Exciting news, I am now officially represented by @sallymkim.bsky.social at @andreabrownlit.bsky.social #kidlitart #childrensillustration

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts, 88 corporations — including Coinbase, CVS, and Disney — paid ZERO federal income tax last year. They also spent $852M on political donations and lobbying. Their combined tax savings: over $26 BILLION (a 3,000% ROI!) We must break this corrupt cycle.

Sooo excited to announce that I will be doing another book with the super awesome @celinasun.bsky.social !! 💖 And it will be set in #HongKong, my place of birth! 😍 🌱

Happy 5th Anniversary of #kidlitartpostcard day! I am posting a little late. I was helping my parents move on Thursday so it is only fitting that this image is inspired by a trip we took when I was little to Vancouver Island--where it rains a lot . . .

Hey all. It's come to my attention that some people are scooping my comics and changing the captions, adding themselves as as co-creators. Also that some are scooping my comics & adding their own branding. All without permission. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS.

He enjoys playing on occasion. 🎹Happy #caturday #cat 😹

Americans are facing the highest jump in healthcare costs in 15 years, as millions struggle to cover increased costs. Meanwhile, the top six health insurers just reported $15.4 billion in first quarter earnings. Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?
