It's #KidLitArtPostcard day! I've been spread too thin lately to count/like them all but rest assured I'll be scrolling—I know other publishing professionals will be too. I so appreciate you taking the time to share your work! It helps me, and more importantly it unites the #kidlit community. 💙❤️

Can anyone recommend a great, flexible Bluesky custom feed creator?

It’s #KidLitArtPostcardDay! This is one of the very *best* days. It is art, it is kids, it is glorious 🤩

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! This blackbird ain’t being shy. If you have board book/picture book manuscript that involves cranky and feisty animals with big colorful personality, please think of me! #kidlit #illustration

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! Today's post is based on a true story! Not the dinosaur, but the appearance of a European Cuckoo bird in New Hampshire this past autumn. I'm open for new book projects mid-year. Rep'd by Sean McCarthy. www.ginaperry.com #kidlit

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day, I’m looking for just the right picture book for my whimsical, wonky illustrations! Thank you to @ginaperry.bsky.social for bringing us all together each month with this fantastic challenge! My portfolio and contact info can be found at www.andreawickert.com

Folks, as of right now the stunningly talented artist Frazier Irving is homeless and needs your help. He hasn’t got a fundraising page because he doesn’t want charity but he is selling pages. Please give his shop a look and buy something that appeals if you can. frazerirving.bigcartel.com

I love dog show photos. www.npr.org/sections/the...

Sharing this thread of my bits of wisdom again, for authors who have just wrapped their very first #WRAD or for '27 debut authors. #kidlit

whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero

Six #WRAD calls down, one to go after a long break. It's been so fun to read THE KING OF BOOKS to classrooms! #kidlit us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Coming tomorrow!

When I first showed this to Mike Mitchell, one of my favorite profs at CalArts, he told me he would give me a copy of the book they were writing about him if I would make sure to keep doing this youtu.be/9IjTSqdNykc?...

I'd love to curate a post exploring some of my favourite 2026 middle grade book covers that have been revealed recently. If you'd like to help make that possible and sponsor the post for $40 USD and place a permanent ad for your book or service, please send me a message! #BookSky #MGLit #KidLit

Happy World Read Aloud Day! #WRAD isn't just for schools -- people of all ages can enjoy picture books, and reading ANY kind of writing aloud is a vastly different experience than reading silently. Don't be afraid to try out some character voices, too!

Tomorrow is #KidLitArtPostcard day. I'm so excited to see everyone's beautiful illustrations on Bluesky. Get ready #kidlit , more info here: www.ginaperry.com/postcard

I had two fantastic #WRAD meetings this morning! I have a long break now (weather cancellations) but I'll be riding off that great Pre-K and K energy! #kidlit

It’s #WorldReadAloudDay! Sad that due to a weather related delayed school day, we had to cancel some of our scheduled visits, but so excited to visit with some amazing authors later today. Our readers are looking forward to it! #SchoolLibrary #kidlit #MGLit #TLSky

Wishing everyone a wonderful World Read Aloud Day (with minimal technical glitches!) #WRAD #kidli

Tomorrow is World Read Aloud Day! www.litworld.org/world-read-a...

Thank you Linda for the lovely review and for joining us to celebrate wild solitary bees! 😊🐝

Happy Publication Day to Hocus & Pocus and the Snow Day Sorcery (book 3)! ❄️✨ Written by AR Capetta, published by Candlewick #kidlit #bookbirthday #dogs

Oooh, I really need to get something new prepared! #Kidlitart #kidlitartpostcard #illustrator #paintplay

Hey everyone! Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today! But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold. I just resorted our list to put those on the top. Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

Daily Hank: Groundhog Day Edition #pug *Hank has been desolate about the cold temps, so I made him a small blanket. I call it the Hankie Blankie.

Today is an absolute shitstorm of ICE presence in our MN town of 20,000. They stepped up the invasion like a motherfucker the second they claimed to be stepping it down.

Best day of the month 💕✏️

Nearly 500 people I follow are still following Neil on here so this seems like a good time to point out how on Bluesky if you block someone, you don't automatically unfollow them. So you'll want to unfollow and then block, in cases where someone you follow now seems worth blocking.

Attention all #kidlit friends: This Thursday, February 5th, is #KidLitArtPostcard day! Get your art ready and I'll see you on the timeline! www.ginaperry.com/postcard

Thanks to everyone who liked this image! If you are interested, I've uploaded it to TeePublic. Any profits I make off it (though admittedly, I only get $1-2/shirt), I will donate to a cause which supports Minneapolis and/or fights back against ICE. Buy it here: www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/8709...

This is amazing! Congratulations @katievenit.bsky.social

This is who runs this account.

Pinning it this time: If it's been a long time since your last MMR booster and you don't want to bother with a titer test, you should be able to just get the booster at a drug store or walk-in clinic.

Monday #kidlit check-in time: I'm planning a busy week with World Read Aloud Day and KidLitArtPostcard. I'm doing more color tests for a new drawing book, and continuing dummy sketches. What's on deck for you?

February’s Five-Word Reviews are here! We’re keeping it brief this week with 5 new picture books you should have on your radar. www.onlypicturebooks.com/2026/02/02/p... #KidLit #PictureBooks #BookReview #Mondayblogs

Today is my sister’s Michelle’s bday. She died in late 2023. She loved the beach, so I visit each year in her memory, picking a perfect shell to mark the day. It was so cold this year, and I had climb over snow banks to get there, but the sea was absolutely sparkling.

Here are #Kidlitilloweek prompts for February. You can save it on your phone for inspiration or print out and paste into your sketchbook. As usual, more info on the challenge can be found at mirkah.com/kidlitilloweek

Friday #kidlit recap: I can't believe ALAYMA was this week?! Personal things and the world made this a tough one, but I worked on designs for a new book project, kept sketching, wrote, etc. Next week is #WRAD and a #KidLitArtPostcard day. Sending a hug to everyone, I think we all need it.

This week will not quit. A full spectrum of bad news, truly.

Donated a picture book critique to the Publishing for Minnesota Auction. But there are soooo many other amazing items as well! Check it out!! www.32auctions.com/organization...

oh this is helpful for comics, too haha

The auction ends at 11.45pm TONIGHT - please get your bids in for anything you're interested in! Auction is currently raising $154,000, amazing!!! Let's get it higher before it closes! #kidlit #publishing #auction

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
