A child is a sleep facing an open book.

also I am confused how they take different words in different games. it should at least be consistent.

I'm sure you've seen my chain of many animals, who they also reject!

This little plant thief showed up in my yard about 1.5 years ago. Sad for my garden. Great for studying rabbit poses for The Highly Sensitive Rabbit. 🐇 #cottontail #rabbit #kidlit #kidlitart

Hi #kidlitartpostcard, something a little different—here are the #undies to my book coming out on Tuesday. I amrepped by @andreabrownlit.bsky.social. I’ve been itching to do a book with an imaginary creature(s).

Great textures

Gorgeous colors

Me crying about Jane Goodall's fabulousness. And now I'm crying that this warrior for empathy and curiosity is gone. #JaneGoodall

I met Jane Goodall about 15 years ago. I was so overwhelmed with emotion; I cried. She said to me, "Without tears in the eyes, there'd be no rainbows in the skies." A great loss. #JaneGoodall

Hi Maeve - I love that New Year's piece. Nice work!

Hi Brian, I love drawing night scenes! I have only done Christmas for puzzles, fabrics, and cards, so not as painterly, but including a dinosaur Christmas for you. :) My portfolio is: www.daughterearth.com

Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees Ecosia uses 100% of its profits for the planet and produces enough renewable energy to power all searches twice over.

I recently switched my default search engine to www.ecosia.org to avoid the unnecessary AI summaries from Google and because I want the world to have more trees. To my surprise, Ecosia also does this by default; however, you can go into the settings and turn it off.

Happy International Primate Day! #primateDay #primate

I gave it a very minimal assist to get it back on a leaf so its wings could dry out, and it's all good. I was trying not to intervene - maybe it would have gotten there on it's own, but it looked so miserable.

I was so exited to finally catch a monarch eclosing. It did not go as planned. #monarch #butterfly #entomology
