I wish I had this kid's enthusiasm for Mondays. Unfortunately, I'm more on the Garfield the cat's side of things. #kidlitart #sketchbook

Mini value studies are turning into my jam... #sketchbook

I had fun doing this sketch in watercolour and acrylic ink. #sketchbook

Today, I revisited a digital drawing from 2024 with traditional media. It's a lot of hard work with very unsure outcomes, but I'm so glad I am putting in the time. 😅 #kidlitart #sketchbook #illustration

It finally stopped raining a couple of days ago. I forgot what sunshine felt like! 😭 #sketchbook

Play as research? That's an important part of being an illustrator, no? I am having some fun drawing and painting studies based on the amazing stuff I saw at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum I visited Hanoi last month. It was so wonderful! #sketchbook #kidlitart

Sketchbook studies with one of my favourite painters ever, Filipino national artist Fernando Amorsolo. I was able to finally pick up a book of his works when I was back in Manila last month. #sketchbook 🇵🇭

Latinos Out Loud's fun and thought provoking interview with @johnparraart.bsky.social, award winning author illustrator of THIS MOMENT IS SPECIAL: A Dia de Muertos Story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1A0... 💀😍

Lovely to see @johnparraart.bsky.social on @slj.com's Dia de Muertos roundup. There is still time to pick up this one! 💀https://www.slj.com/story/5-picture-books-for-dia-de-muertos

Cover reveal!! This incredibly adorable and hilarious book is award winning author illustrator Marcelo Verdad’s first time illustrating another creator’s work. I think he hit it out of the park, what do you think? 😍

I am so excited to share news of another upcoming project for the wonderfully talented Heidi Moreno. Her novel graphic panels on this project are just the coolest. I cannot wait to see this fabulous story, written by Pura Belpré winner Laekan Zea Kemp in print! @penguinkids.bsky.social 2m

Reworking an old sketch with a more loose hand. How is your Friday going? #sketchbook #kidlitart

Yup, it is most definitely "colourwork sweaters and hot chocolate while waiting for the bus" weather. #kidlitart

A cool, calm, serene thanks to Christina Barber for her review of EMERSON on The Miramichi Reader! #kidlitart #bcbooks #canadiankidsbooks miramichireader.ca/2025/09/emer...

Happy Publication Day to the gorgeous JUST SHINE! and ¡SOLO BRILLA! by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, illustrated by Jacqueline Alcántara. This powerful story was inspired by the Justice's mother, Celina, who had the wonderful ability of helping people see their own brilliance. Beautiful and inspiring! 😍

Just a funny idea for an imagined book cover. 😂 Maybe a middle grade book in the future? I remember my grandpa had a mini shark at some point! Or maybe I was dreaming and it was just a really big fish... #kidlitart

Happy publication day to @123con.bsky.social' bilingual board book ONE ELEPHANT/UN ELEFANTE, illustrated by Eduardo Marticorena, Juliet Menendez's HOPEFUL HEROES and HEROES DE LA ESPERANZA, written by @margaritaengle.bsky.social, and @writerandreapage's WHO WAS WILMAN MANKILLER? Congratulations x3!

Lots of new friends I've made have asked me how to pronounce my last name. What a thoughtful question! My last name is a common word in Asia, particularly from Vietnam. Most English speakers have trouble, but that's okay. Also, do you know who Barbara Walters and Arnold Palmer are? 😰 #kidlit

I am kind of a local news nut, so this is a dee-light to see! Mr. Keith Baldrey's bookshelf is the ultimate BC author's easter egg!!! ❤️ This man has made it a mission to support BC books even as he talks about federal funding for EV infrastructure. He is so cool. #kidlit #kidlitart #bcbooks

New video drop for my latest fantasy adventure novel, ANOMALIES 53: Into The Shadows. 📖 I don't like making videos--it feels so awkward and I come out as awkward...yet, I do it. Here's my latest. Enjoy! youtu.be/rU5zaydDw38?... #KidLit; #FantasyBooks, #Anomalies53 #MiddleGradeBooks #Area53

HOLY COW! Looks like Emerson's gotten the SEAL OF APPROVAL! We're No 4 on this week's BC Bestsellers according to @readlocalbc.bsky.social on our release week! Thanks everyone! #kidlitart #kidlit #readlocalbc @picturebookseh.bsky.social

Oh goodness. Emerson and I were featured on the cover of @bcbooklook.bsky.social bcbooklook.com/victorias-se... How fashionable! Thank you! ❤️ #kidlit #kidlitart #bcbooks

I did not anticipate how much I would LOVE my new little friends sending me back some Emerson postcards. "I ate [too] much [salmon] rolls." 😍 Me too, girl. Me too. www.indiebookstores.ca/book/9781998... #kidlitart #bcbooks #readbc #kidlit

What a great Saturday! We had storytime w our pals at Kinder Books in New West, BC. They were all so excited to learn that Emerson is real! Photo credit ❤️ Anne! Thanks for having us! Let's support our local bookshops--they are such an important part of our communities! kinderbooks.ca #kidlitart

Love a good book blurb! Thank you, @peterlerangis.bsky.social #Letsread #Fantasyfun #Anomalies53

Some special folks have said some lovely things about Emerson lately. I was nervous about making this book, but friends like Eloise and Mr. Lucky Budd made it feel less scary to show everyone else! Thank you! ❤️ #kidlitart #kidlit

🎉 Today is publication day for EMERSON THE ELEPHANT SEAL! I'm so excited to share my boyfriend with you. He is over 500 lbs, so there is plenty of Emerson to go around! Now available widely across Canadian bookshops! www.indiebookstores.ca/book/9781998... #kidlit #kidlitart #canadiankidlit

HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY x2! @angelacervantes.bsky.social's fantasy series, ANOMALIES 53, is finally here! ‪@publisherswkly.bsky.social‬ hails its "quippy dialogue and pulse-pounding action." Based on a true story, EMERSON, by author illustrator @gingerngo.bsky.social er.ngo's is available TODAY! 😍🎉
