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...

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

I heard from some little birdy that today is NATIONAL GRANDPARENTS DAY 💕 Thought I'd share these funny idea sketches I had for a story I've been working on for a while. #kidlitart #sketchbook #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

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

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

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

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

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

🎉 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! 😍🎉

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

Here is my finished knitted Emerson! I decided against the googly eyes because it didn't really fit his personality. gingerngo.com/emerson-the-... #kidlit #kidlitart #knitting

Knitting a little EMERSON isn't weird, is it? I lost my bag of googly eyes so I will need to finish this later this week. Knitting helps me relax. #kidlitart #kidlit #knitting
