Some sketching for an upcoming project. Exaggeration can really make a piece come to life! #kidlitart

This month was a real struggle.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! Here's me as a kid!

Happy #kidlitpostcard day! My Barbie did all the things I couldn’t - I related more to the hobby horse. Still do! I’m Sandy, an author/illustrator with a goofy sense of humour and love of things that may go together only in my head. I’m good with that. Rep’d by Maura Kye-Casella @ Don Congdon

It's the 5th anniversary of #KidLitArtPostcard day! I made a starter pack of me as a kid. Braces, glasses, a Point Horror book, and no vegetables. See more here: NicolaSchofield.com Rep by @sallymkim.bsky.social at @andreabrownlit.bsky.social #kidlitart

It’s #kidlitartpostcard day once again but this time there’s a theme. Me as a child? Yes I was a gremlin at one point (still am at heart) I liked drawing Dino’s and dragons. I give myself dragon wings and a robot antenna. My child self practicing drawing the wings they wear. #kidlitart

Hey #kidlitartpostcard day! I spent most of my infancy in a body cast. When I got it off, I couldn’t walk yet, let along get down a slide by myself, but I was sure excited at the possibilities! I am Deborah Paquette and I am looking for representation.

Not gonna lie, this month was hard.

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.

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
