Below three pictures (two of a parent/caregiver reading a book with a child, the other of a young person looking at a book) is the text: Empowered by Reading. The Benefits of Giving Youth Access to a Wide Variety of Reading Materials.

When provided with a wide variety of books, youth are Empowered by Reading: uniteagainstbookbans.org#white-paper #UniteAgainstBookBans

Working away on finals for my picture book Bear and the Mountain (Oct 2025 Owlkids Books).
Its painted in gouache with little elements of collage. Having so much fun with this medium.
Working on next fundraiser for the beloved dogs of DAR Animal Rescue! Each donation gets a link to a personalized dog-en-tine, and one entry to a draw to win a print of this poster below! I’ll figure out all my links and stuff and share with all y’all!😅
