Today I would like to recognize Ada Lovelace-—the mother of computer programming Mary Anning—the mother of palaeontology and Stephanie Kwolek—the mother of Kevlar Lastly I would like to recognize Joy Jensen—the mother of me. She was a creative, intelligent, loving woman. I miss her dearly.

It’s #kidlitpostcardday - when illustrators share a little snippet of their latest work. My postcard is all about springtime flowers and fun! #kidlitart #kidlit #springtime #spring #springflowers #illustration

#KidlitArtPostcard day today! Yes it’s that time today. I’m a writer and illustrator currently working on two picture books, a MG graphic novel, and my self esteem 🫡😤😤😤😤 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 My website is bhandiboe.com Instagram @bhandiillustration Have a good day yall! #kidlit #kidlitart

Rather than being about overtly preachy books, it seems like “didactic” is being used to describe any book that has knowledge in it. Isn’t that a basic function of books?? Isn’t that why we love books?? Isn’t that WHY Matilda went to the library?? What ARE we even if we devalue those books? #kidlit

This is a departure from my typical #KidLitArtPostcard, but I was really feeling this one for today. I am looking for representation and new projects in the kidlit realm. Love and peace to you all.❤️ #kidlitpostcard #kidlit

Staying on top of my New Year’s Resolution.

I went thrifting today and found my grandmother’s china pattern! I am giddy about it. The pattern is April Rose and the set I bought has 32 pieces. I found a similar set on ETSY for 10 times what I paid, so it was a good deal! I now have service for up to 15. #finechina #AprilRose #thrifting
