Rosie & Sara, trick-or-treating, go to visit Sandy the Witch. Oh no! Lou has been up to no good while Sandy has been on vacation! He's taken over AND is serving nothing but burnt toast! Good thing Rosie will eat almost anything! #kidslit #handdrawn #inkandwatercolor #picturebookillustration

Such wonderful example and reminder of what the work means! Kudos!!

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I'm Jessie, a #childrensbook author/illustrator seeking representation. I focus on filling my work with whimsy & joy... we could use a little more of that in today's world. All my illustrations are #handdrawn, #inked, & painted with #watercolor. #kidlitartist #scbwi

Usually Olive is an Otter-achiever, but she's taking time for self-care. Happy as a clam, she snuggles up in her fishnet blanket with the beautiful fish that her significant otter, Oscar, gave her. 🧡

Saffron the Tiny Elephant hides behind ferns. She is so shy that she turns green to match. BUT, her toes still stay pink. What else should Saffron hide behind?
