Wouldn’t it be a #DREAM to have a tea party in the forest, dressed in fancy clothes and surrounded by friends? But wait, someone is watching them… #scbwidrawthis #scbwi #scbwidrawthisdream #kidlitart #kidlit #picnicillustration #teaillustration

#BluePit 📖 #pb When two overtired kids resist bedtime, Dad uses a secret weapon: INCREDIBLY BORING STORIES. If the reader stays awake, they’ll witness a showdown between the world‘s most tedious dad and kids who hold out hopes for dracula vs. dinosaur battles. #OS BrianKirbyStudio.com

Rainbow the unicorn hates the nicknames friends in Sparklevania give him (Cutie Patootie!?), but a run-in w/ a dracula bat transforms him into the fearsome (?) COUNT RAINBOW! His new evil persona drives his friends away until a nickname slip up rocks the town. #BluePit 📖 #pb #OS BrianKirbyStudio.com

When a smooshed cranberry ruins the Carver family’s fine rug & Thanksgiving dinner, famed sleuth DETECTIVE TURKEY of Scotland Farmyard is summoned. His keen mind & refined taste unravel their recipe’s miscalculations, and a more sinister crime is revealed! #BluePit 📖 #pb #os BrianKirbyStudio.com

Crocodile Ryle was the grump of the swamp. He thought having a friend was the worst. Yuck! He ate everyone around him, until animals had enough and left. Alone, he cried. That’s when he met a butterfly who melted his heart. Inspired by real rainforest facts. #bluepit #PB #F #Q #ND #bluepithype
