Yay! 👏🏼

I’ll be there! So excited for Vashti Harrison!

Cover illustration of young girl kneeling by a creek, arm around her little golden dog, and holding a heart-shaped rock in the palm of her other hand. The sky is painted in pinks and yellows with hearts floating in the air and throughout the scene.

So excited to see Hearts in My Pocket by @nancytupperling.bsky.social and my dear friend @shirleyngbenitez.bsky.social in my local library! 💜

“So when I look, really look, I find love all around me.”

“Love glows. Heart grows.”

@autumnleaflet.bsky.social posts and amigurumi creations always make me smile!

I can’t wait to see #jasonchinn at #PBSummit on October 4th!

I just entered and I’ve already registered for the summit! I can’t wait for October 4th! This will be my third time so I can say Picture Book Summit is awesome!

So happy to see you here, Greg, and my timing is right today! (I used to see these chats on Twitter after the fact.) After some discouragement earlier in the year, I did some traveling and am continuing to learn, revise and query!

Amazing paintings! You are truly talented! And I love how you documented the event! Best wishes on your creative journey!

What an amazing library!

This looks really good! Can't wait to check it out from my library!

Lovely and what a lovely idea to paint your backyard birds!

Beautiful!

With a backdrop of blue skies, rolling clouds, and grey mountain tops, cherry trees bursting with pink blossoms frame Japanese temples surrounded by more blossoming cherry trees.

What a sight at the Tenryu-Ji Temple!

Thank you for sharing this! I love reading about creators’ journeys to publication! 🥰 And some very good advice! 👏🏼
