CONGRATULATIONS TO@donnarossman.bsky.social! She's the TAKE 5 Winner! She liked, commented, and shared my interview with @christinealemshah.bsky.social! That's all it took to win either a free copy of Christine Alemshah's new picture book, BEA'S BALIKBAYAN BOX OF TREASURES, or an AMA Zoom! #booksky

Thank you, CK! And thanks for boosting! There is a comic-con element in the book, so there will be plenty of fun costumes! Also, the book ends with a costume contest!

Having more fun with character studies! I love drawing dynamic backgrounds so it’s nice to switch it up and focus on character and emotion.

Thrilled to announce my next book... PRIYA'S NOT-SO-PERFECT BRAND-NEW OUTFIT.πŸŽ‰
It is part imagination and part real - a story 'little me' would have loved.
I'm grateful to my CPs and agent @adriagoetz, and excited to have the talent of @colourbyvaish.

We're so lucky to still have bees around! Back in the 2000s, it was estimated that they would all go extinct by now! Cute illustrations!

Every time Mack has to sniff out foulbrood in a new environment I made sure to put the camera down at his POV.
