What are the odds that two friends would end up with the same literary agent?? I’m incredibly grateful for the guy with the big old smile. He’s been my writing sherpa and critique partner for the last few years, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without his creative energy and support. 🙏🏼 #kidlit

A test illustration for a Winnie the Pooh book, which did not go through. I'm quite happy with how this turned out, though! 😊

Hiya #kidlitartpostcard ! I’m Annie and I am available for new projects. I love drawring animals, people, and inanimate objects with big feelings! I’m represented by @charlottewenger.com at Prospect Agency.

A girl, about 11 or so, standing on a path in the woods with her dog. The girl is smiling at us. She's wearing a white tee, yellow flannel shirt and ball cap, a big blue backpack and chunky sneakers. The dog is an Irish wolfhound, all scraggly blue fur and a big smile. His head reaches up to her armpits. The woods they're in is full of birch trees and is well lit and sunny with lots of green bushes and wildflowers on the ground. The postcard text reds "Michael Dashow, Illustrator, https://mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co" and my e-mail address.

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard day! I'm Mike and I like drawing colorful kids and animals. I'm especially looking for middle grade cover work and seeking representation.

I often talk to ppl who read Pratchett as a kid who are sad there's nothing like it for kids today. Well, that isn't true any more. The Spick and the Span is perfect funny MG fantasy with footnotes for kids who know that the world is a bit of a scam but also a wonderful, warm place. #Kidlituk

Next Thursday, June 5th, is the 3rd birthday of #KidLitArtPostcard Day! Illustrators: get that work ready (new or gold!). Art Directors, Editors, and Agents: get ready to make some new connections! #kidlit #kidlitart

Today Fairy Tale Road is out in the world! This is my first romcom and I had a blast creating it in the choose-your-own-adventure style. Did you read those books as a kid? I always loved them but thought we adults need to have a little fun too, right? So I did!

Hands holding out three books by Kao Kalia Yang, winners of the memoir, children’s, and middle grade categories: Where Rivers Part: A Story of My Mother’s Life (Memoir), The Rock In My Throat (Children’s), The Diamond Explorer (Middle Grade)

our friend Kao Kalia Yang won THREE Minnesota Book Awards last night (a record for a single year!) and we have copies of all of them available now!

The Lyndale Park Rose Gardens are a couple of blocks away from my home. (Most people know them as the Lake Harriet Rose Gardens.) First, there will be rows and rows of vibrant tulips, followed by rows and rows of plump roses. I’m a writer, but being here always makes me want to paint!

A bold statement.

My personal take:

Adverbs. Enjoy in moderation. 😊

A few of my favorite picture books, proudly on display in my office. I find it helpful to be surrounded by creativity!
