Who else goes to coffee shops to get ideas for characters and personalities? I also use every page of notebooks until they die so they start to look a little crusty ☺️

Todos están invitados a mi lectura del libro de “How did you get here?/ Como llegaste aqui?” En @Librería The Owl con @Merazonia Wildlife Refuge!

18 Oct-11:30am

Vamos a hablar sobre Merazonia, leer el libro y hacer una actividad para los niños

A few months ago I received a message from a gorgeous 7 year old girl who’d been inspired by my book “Elroy the /la Iguana” and wrote her own book about her own trip to Galápagos Islands. Why I write? To inspire kids to love nature, writing, and learning ❤️😘

This shows my book “Raising Goliath the Anteater” and a Giant Anteater crocheted animal

This shows my book “how did you get here/ Como llegaste aquí?” And a crocheted yellow crowned parrot

I just love these crochet characters that I got made for my latest books! They help kids connect with the characters and also the wildlife!

One is a Giant Anteater for my book

I think Jazzy thinks she could take a puma on… 🐈😅

This is a photo I took in 2009 on Campbell Island. A friend and I were just chilling on the side of the hill and this curious albatross came to visit us. She was one of the reasons why I decided to work in education instead of research.

My friend sent me this photo of her art since she knew I’d run out of pieces of artwork.🥹😅 Because for me, everything that requires creativity is art 🖼️😊

¿Qué otros animales crees que visita Carlos?

How did you get here?/ Cómo llegaste aquí! Está disponible ya! Trabajaba con Merazonia para crear las historias de los animales en el libro 📚 (son basados en historias verdaderas) y 10% de las ganancias van a Merazonia 😊

What other animals do you think Carlos visits?

How did you get here?/ Cómo llegaste aquí? Is available now! I worked with @merazonia_refuge to come up with the stories of the different animals in the story ❤️ (they are based on true stories).

#bilingualchildrensbooks #amazon #wildlifeeducation

I didn’t have time to find the last pieces of art for this month so unless someone sends me a random piece of their art I’m going to use illustrations from my own books & recreate a story around it.

This illustration is by Elena Harman from “Raising Goliath the Anteater”

Thank you so much @artist_sraj for letting me use your artwork for this challenge! I love the expression in his face!

This is artwork is based on Kathakali, a dance-drama from the Kerala area in India and it was done by @artoholic.14 ! ❤️ I hope I got a little of the meaning right 🫣

🦜 Carlos is a yellow- crowned parrot that arrived in Merazonia, a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Ecuador, in 2018. Due to reduced mobility, a new life at the centre was the best option for him and he has since become one of the most beloved residents. He also inspired by new story OUT NOW! 🥳🍾

I’m kind of breaking my own rules here but I took this photo this morning and I can’t stop thinking about. This is the first time I’ve seen a rainbow over the city like this ❤️🌈

As someone who used to work in animal shelters, this moment was always an incredible moment to see ❤️ Thank you @kathlyndetails for letting me use your artwork! ❤️ She’s gorgeous!

So my friend @the_real_m_warner decided to challenge me with an xray for this #augustwritingchallenge and it reminded me of how often our most serious injuries are caused in the most boring way (not that I’m saying that about yours 😬)

#ministory #create #imagination #writersofinsta

Ok, so it’s not springtime but that’s what this gorgeous piece by @o_tzotzos reminds me of! 🌸 It also reminds me of when I was a kid and we used to put a blanket outside under a big tree and we’d lie down and read books 📚😊

#augustwritingchallenge #ministory #create #imagination #authorsofinsta

These cute wonky characters by @wonkybuddies are so cute! 🥰 Thank you so much! 😊

I have 11 more days left! I can do this!!

#ministory #augustwritingchallenge #imagine #create #authorsofinsta

I love the feeling from behind the eyes of this beautiful parrot by @colourful_creations.goa ❤️ Thank you so much for letting me use your artwork! It’s gorgeous! 😊

#augustwritingchallenge #ministory #create #imagine #authorsofinsta

Check out this beautiful crystal art created by @iva.crystals !❤️

I must admit that this one was hard (not because of the art) but because I have been working all day on get my new book publish- ready! 😊

News to come tomorrow! ❤️🦜

#augustwritingchallenge #ministory #imagine #create #authorcommunity

This is art piece 3/4 of a collaboration between 4 artists and it was done by @vanshu__creation ❤️ (I’m sorry I couldn’t fit the whole piece of artwork 🫣 it didn’t want to cooperate, but she’s beautiful ❤️)

#augustwritingchallenge #ministory #authorofinstagram #writingartprompts

Aren’t these mobiles by @myheartnhands super cute?

And I’m officially more than halfway through the month! 😊❤️

#augustwritingchallenge #ministory #creativity #imagination #writer

Thank you so much @s.d.art.3 for letting me use your art for the 2nd year in the row! ❤️ I love how you can nearly just about see something but not quite- if that makes sense 😂

#augustwritingchallenge #writersofinstagram✍️ #ministory #creativity #imagination

Carlos has been a superstar and Mr Optimistic (usually) for years @Merazonia Wildlife Refuge ever since he was found incredibly skinny and with a broken pelvis. Now he sings to every passerbyer at the refuge and gets around using his beak.

Carlos the yellow-crowned parrot is finally going to be the main character in his very book. Thanks to Nayomi @fujocraft_._ , the illustrator of my new book- more details to come soon!

Isn’t this just the cutest little octopus!🐙❤️ by the amazing @roquita_art ! ❤️ Thank you so much for participating! ☺️

#ministory #imagine #creativity #writersofinstagram #augustwritingchallenge

This ministory about @thehawkandtheoak’s gorgeous artwork was inspired by how kids often approach animals with curiosity rather than fear, which us adults could sometimes learn from ❤️😊
