a board book style illustration of a young elephant in overalls, peering under the edge of a tablecloth. It is done in a chunky black line with chalky color applied in gray-blue, mustard yellow, and dark orange.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day!
I'm a multimedia illustrator with a few board book WIPs.
I am seeking representation.

There are so many great postcards being posted today, cheers to everyone putting their art out there!

Illustrated spread from THE KING OF BOOKS, by Gina Perry (July '25, Feiwel and Friends, Macmillan). A tiger with a crown is ROARING at a small wild boar with a bowl of soup, spoon, and book flying off to the side. Text reads ROAR! "Who dares to interrupt the King?!"

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I'm an author and illustrator who loves to show ALL the emotions in picture books (usually through cute animals and monsters). This art is from THE KING OF BOOKS, available July'25 from @mackidsbooks.bsky.social More of my work at: www.ginaperry.com #kidlitart #kidlit

A very early preview of Mabel’s Museum of Wonders (out in 2026) for #kidlitpostcard day 🐚🪨🤍

Awesome to see so many new folks on here (welcome!), and let's do a low-key #AMA to celebrate!

Will be checking in throughout the day, and fire away with any questions about children's publishing, agenting, or where Pete Alonso might sign (still holding out hope that the Mets bring him back!).

The picture books LET'S CELEBRATE KOREAN NEW YEAR! by Michelle W. Park and Hyewon Yum and WISH SOUP by Junghwa Park

What better way (other than eating tteokguk, of course!) to celebrate Seollal than with these amazing picture books from Junghwa Park and Hyewon Yum?

I drew these baseball cards a while back and I’m pretty happy that I managed to sneak some of them into my next book

Screenshot of a Reuters article describing Elon Musks nazi salute at the inauguration as a “moment of enthusiasm” according to a “leading tracker of antisemitism”

Screenshot from The Simpsons of Sideshow Bob with “Die Bart die” written on his chest. He says “no, that’s German for “the Bart, the.” Followed by a second screenshot of a juror saying “no one who speaks German could be an evil man.”

“a moment of enthusiasm”

Picture of my work desk covered in art, pencils, rocks, and marbles

Working on final art for my next book. My desk is an aesthetically-pleasing mess.

A Facebook post of a someone giving away an item. The description says: “not sure I can explain this but it seems to be an apparatus to prop up a chicken on a grill so that it appears to be riding a motorcycle.” There’s an image below of the motorcycle in pieces and an image of a cooked chicken wearing sunglasses riding it when it’s put together

I love my local buy nothing group:

Debbie Harry - Debbie Hairy* (she’s an old English sheepdog) Screaming females - screaming she-whales? Kid dynamite - they’re all goats? Titus andronicus - tiger andronicus The white stripes - the black and white stripes (2 zebras) David Bowie - David boa-wie (snake) * Jawbreaker - pawbreaker * Beastie boys - beestie boys (they’re wildebeests) The kinks - the skinks * Bad brains - bird brains

When you can’t sleep at 4am so you make a list of animal band names for your picture book:

Still can’t get over that they took this tweet and made an entire picture book out of it

Playing around with Starter Packs - how lucky am I that I get to work with such incredible authors and illustrators?!?!

bird sounds

A pamphlet that describes a cockatoo’s “screaming hours” where the bird screams for no particular reason from 3-6pm.

Thinking about adopting “screaming hours” like the cockatoo at our vet’s office

It’s really pretty cool that one thing you can do to support people you like is ask your local library to get their book because it doesn’t cost you anything, it helps them, and the librarian gets to know someone actually wants to read a book and not just use the computer for Roblox

Hyewon Yum's newest picture book, TOTO, coming out in January 2025

One of my favorite things of working in publishing is getting to see advance copies of books before they're published, and I'm so excited for this one - Hyewon Yum's next author-illustrator picture book TOTO, coming in January 2025 from Neal Porter Books/Holiday House!
