@melanieconklin.bsky.social and I got great news today! Thank you @bankstreetlibrary.bsky.social for the recognition!

Hi Everyone! My name is Leah Hong and I’m a kidlit author/illustrator. For my very first #KidLitArtPostcard, an image from When You Have to Wait, written by ‪@melanieconklin.bsky.social‬. I’m rep’d by Kirsten Hall at Catbird Agency. You can see more of my work at leahhong.com #kidlit #kidlitart

WHEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT has been selected for the Kansas NEA Reading Circle! Super stoked that this reassuring picture book written by me and illustrated by @leahhong.bsky.social will be shared with countless young readers in Kansas. 🥳🎉 us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Thank you for the kind words, P.J.!
