(Part 2/2) With only a few weeks left for Bologna Book Fair, I decided to finally get my business cards, posters and portfolio ready to bring with me! I’ve done a little zine instead of a business card, and I truly enjoyed the process! #bcbf26 #kidlitart #comic #zine #childrensbookillustrator

There are a lot of Pajama Bugs around the world! Jumpy, silly and very hungry, but… not sleepy! Which ones do you have at home? My book “Pajama Bug” will be out in Portuguese book shops from the 2nd of March and I couldn’t be happier about it! penguinlivros.pt/loja/booksmi... #kidlit #kidlitart

Mimi is a tiny bee with a tiny voice. The bees need to find a nice spot for a new hive. Mimi finds the perfect place, but when she tries to tell everybee about it, nobee can hear her. It’s time to dance! @eoinkenobi.bsky.social @estrelalourenco.bsky.social

**Spoiler alert** the little bug gets caught! Here's a page for my upcomig picture book "Pajama Bug" inspired by my bedtime with my eldest daughter 3 years ago...! The launch will be on the 2nd of March 2026 in bookstores in Portugal! #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebook
