New cover reveal. 25 years ago, i illustrated the cover of #esperanzarising. Next March, @pammunozryan ‘s new book, El Niño will be out. I did the cover and, this, time some interior art.

On my bday, headed north to Redwoods NP. Hung out amid the tallest trees in the world. Wrote some last parts of my novel in camp (forest scenes). #kidlit #scbwi #scbwiillustrators #childrensbooks #redwoods #camping @andreabrownlit #latinxauthors #latinxkidlitbookfestival #freedomtoread

Not sure exactly how it happened, but, just finished my first novel a couple nights ago. Celebrated with an ice cold beer, the Copa Finals and some ten ball. #kidlit #latinxkidlit @jenrofe.bsky.social #childrensbooks #scbwi
