A digital illustration of people spending time in a pool: A man with sunglasses is happily lounging by the pool chairs. Next to him is a lady in a yellow coordinate and a big hat sitting up observing the children by the pool. A girl in a pink swimsuit is sitting at the edge of the pool and cheering on her brown dog who's swimming to her from the other side of the pool. A boy in the pool is shielding himself as a girl who appears to be his sister is splashing water to him. Another boy is in a pink floatie observing the siblings.

It's #kidlitartpostcard day!! I'm Jessie, an author and illustrator of children's picture books seeking representation. I focus on filling my work with whimsy and joy. All my illustrations are hand drawn, inked, and painted with watercolor. Some fun little trivia items about me... I have so many wonderful memories of children's books when I was a kid. But the character that I probably latched onto the most was Paddington. I had a stuffed Paddington that went with me everywhere. I slept with him, he went on adventures with me, and was my confidant. And then one Memorial Day weekend, my family was in a dingy heading out to a sailboat and the weather was bad. We capsized. All humans were safe. But... Paddington sunk to the bottom of the lake and we never were able to recover him. But Paddington has lived in my heart ever since. One of my all time favorite snacks is popcorn. I mean what's not to love! And finally, the first thing that I wanted to be when I grew up was an architect. I have always loved buildings, and the older the better. But... not a big fan of math which is pretty essential in being an architect. So, now I draw and create minus the math! And couldn't be happier about it! 😂😍 #kidlit #picturebookauthor #picturebookartist #picturebookillustrator #kidlitartpostcardday
