Tiktok/Reels kids Day6: Thanks to @ninamataart who saw a video of this happy but very sleepy baby. This cutie couldn't keep her eyes open although she did try hard to see her momma. Oh, the cheeks! The whole video is by @bobaepapa. #kidlitart #illustration #drawingkids #digital

tiktok/reels kid Day5: Being the cutest little penguin in some kind of Penguin Festival. I don't know if it's safe to be this close to penguins but this kid was the happiest doing the penguin wibble wobble walk. IG: amazingtaishun #kidlitart #illustration #drawingkids #penguin

tiktok/reels kid day 4: this illustration is inspired by @fight4cystinosisx2_official vid of this cutie ramen connoisseur. She's got a little hint of sassy and we all love it! #kidlitart ##illustration #tiktokkids #drawingkids #digital Link to video here: www.instagram.com/reel/DDnf9gj...

TikTok Kids Day 3: Here's an illustration based on the inspiring video by @chikastagram_0425 first-time kickflip. I wanted to show the flipping action in my drawing. While I know nothing of skateboarding,I was moved. This kid is so cool and amazing! www.instagram.com/reel/DCLCCVu... Bring tissues🥲.

Today's illustration of cute kiddos I see pop up on my feed..Day 2. I didn't get to capture the account on my screenshot, so if you see the og video, let me know or tag them. I couldn't find it anymore. How cute and happy do they both look? Hope it also makes you smile! #kidlitart

A video popped up into my reels of the parents trying to take a picture of their twins wearing their new coats. It was hilarious! Like trying to herd cats. Have you seen it? Inspired by tiktok account Taylor Negley. www.tiktok.com/@taynegley/v...

Lordes Heuer's Early Reader series SEASHELL KEY: The Monster Storm is out now! It's our 2nd book in the series and a wonderful addition to your chapter book shelves. I feel so lucky to illustrate these kids in their coastal town. Let us know if you like it as much as we do! @abramskids

I've got plenty to be thankful for. These past few years have opened doors for me and met so many people and grateful I get to do what I've always dreamed of..to draw. Know that I am doing a parade in my heart to celebrate all of you good folks in my life. I wish you many blessings. #thankful

Thank you, Yu & Me Books NYC, for having Stephanie Sy to do storytime of her book A ROOF! illustrated by Daniel Tingcungco and me to read KAILANI'S GIFT by Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young. I'm so glad the bookstore is back. Pls go and visit and get your signed copies there!

95% of the time I'm watching KDramas but this week, hubby and I binge watched #Cross and WOW, that made me go thru an emotional roller coaster w amazing acting, writing, music. So many twists! Watching it gave me serious trust issues! Highly recommend! #aldishodge is incredible.

I GOT THIS! Looking forward to talking about children’s belief in their ability to take action and make a difference - now more than ever. @maryecronin.bsky.social @lbontigao.bsky.social #brittanythurman @ediblewords.bsky.social #littlebeebooks @glaad.bsky.social #MollysTuxedo #ncte24

Hello, NYC friends! Stephanie & I will be at Yu & Me Books on 11/17, Sunday at 1PM. Hope to see your there!

An old gift from a good friend provides distraction and self-reflection. Doodling is helping me relax; A no-pressure-just-draw activity. It's also like a visual journal so maybe 1 day, it will help me reminisce. #kidlit #kidlitart #doodles

Recently read Sari-Sari Summers by @lbontigao.bsky.social. A sweet, slice-of-life picture book about a girl, her lola, and one summer at their convenience store. I loved the vibrant setting, the inclusion of Tagalog words, and all the nostalgic flavours. Reads like a warm memory. 💙📚👍🏼 #KidLit 📚🌏
