It was a sweltering 96F (35.5C) yesterday - and today is gross and dreary outside. It’s the time of year when it feels like it could be any season - so I went with this sad little winter scene. Very Home Alone 🤣 #kidlitart #cuteart #illustration

🍓 Artists, if you see this, post something RED! ❣️ #kidlitart #cuteart #illustration

My 6 y.o.’s book of the week - the educational, beautifully illustrated BIG BOOK OF BLUE (Yuval Zommer) “This tells you pretty much everything you need to know about all the ocean animals. My favorite part is where it shows the different zones of the ocean and how deep it goes!” #kidlit #booksky

I created a #kidlitart drawing challenge for October. I wanted to keep it simple so it wouldn't be overwhelming to join and it could be easily combined with other prompt lists. If you'd like to join me, don't forget to use the hashtag #kidlitartoween25 .

Artists! Quote with your night art 🌌✨ #kidlitart #illustration #cuteart

Here's a great picture book tip from our ACQUIRED! workshop, courtesy of guest illustrator Fred Koehler. It's called "illustrator bait"—writing lines that give artists room to invent and create magic. www.onlypicturebooks.com/2025/08/25/i... #WritingCraft #KidLit #PictureBook #WritingCommunity
