It’s #KidLitArtPostcard day, Back to School Edition, with a little hesitation to start the first day vibes thrown in.

Ready to open my knapsack and find a big, juicy, wonky picture book to illustrate!

Bluesky really limits the real estate for captions. Do you happen to know if you can still mine for keywords from our ALT captions? If not, wheels are turning, maybe we should start commenting on our own posts with those keywords…

I like your warning but this is adorable and makes me very tempted to hug a polar bear.

Thank you, Sadee, and thank you so much for the repost! I’ve been working as an accountant for years and there have been many nights where I fall asleep with numbers circling my head and filling my dreams all night long 😆

Happy 5th birthday #KidLitArtPostcard day!

Open to the right picture book for my wonky illustrations, I’m depicted here in a memory from childhood. Lost in thought and full of possibilities, as I still am today.

Consider yourself forgiven and goal achieved. This made me laugh.
