Nancy Viau Presents: HANGING OUT WITH GRAM (Schiffer Publishing) + a review darlenebeckjacobson.wordpress.com/2026/03/09/n... @nviau.bsky.social Great new PB from author Nancy Viau. #SchifferPublishing

Hello, #kidlitartpostcard day! I adore bugs . . . on paper. Here are a couple of my favorites who'd love to tell you their story. I work traditionally in pencil and pen & ink, with watercolor and digital color. This piece is pen & ink with digital collage. bonnieadamson.com

These are delightful! If you have any young readers in your life, please check out Katie’s books for gifts!
