Will she or won’t she
make beautiful night music?

Book end papers in predominantly yellow, green, and pink. They feature a fairy with her little pet dragon and several butterfly motifs. There is also a pink bookplate that reads “This book belongs to:” The artist’s name, Deborah Paquette, along with her email address, deborahpaquette@shaw.ca, and her website, www.deborahpaquette.com, are listed. There is also a QR code for the website.

End papers, anyone? #KidLitArtPostcard day is upon us and today I decided to post something a bit different. I am an author/illustrator looking for representation and new projects. You can find my work at: www.deborahpaquette.com #kidlitart #kidlitpostcard #repeatingpattern #kidlit #illustration

Thanks!

A crowd of people demonstrating outside in front of the Lincoln Memorial on a clear, sunny day. Some of the signs read “Science over Stupidity,” “Science Makes America Great,” and “Team Public Health, Not Team Measles.”

Today at the “Stand up for Science” demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial.

Here’s a tweaked version of my submission to the masthead contest for the meeting.

Looking forward to a great meeting!
