Brooke Baum

Sometimes I'm in a hurry and accidentally sign an email with "Broke" instead of Brooke. I guess it's still accurate, though. 😂

We're moving this week and I just had a random man knock on our front door to ask if we're selling our mower.

Me: Um, sure. Actually, you can just have it.
Man: Is it self-propelled? Oh, nevermind, you probably don't know what self-propelled means.
Me: 😑

My 3 year old's soccer coach told her to stand next to a kid on the opposing team (to block them). My daughter instead grabbed the other little girl's hand and they held hands up and down the field. I hope she stays like this forever. 😭

Turned out perfectly! Even has the vintage horror movie poster vibes!

Poster parody cartoon of a dripping wet girl in pigtails wrapping a towel around her chin like a cape and making a classic Dracula mesmerizing gesture, against a white background with blue squares suggesting bathroom tiles. The big movie poster text above her reads BeWARe! BATHTOWEL DRACULA! The bottom of the poster reads: AUTHOR / ILLUSTRATOR Brian Kirby REPRESENTED BY KAITLYN SANCHEZ.

Whimsical children’s book illustration showing a parade of chickens marching down a city street. The chicken in front carries a long flag made of red white and blue while squares, arranged in various configurations of Stars and Stripes. She is pulling a wagon with three chicks in it. Behind the chicks marches a hen wearing boots and carrying a drum, which she is beating as she marches. Behind her comes a duck, looking grouchy and pulling a cannon, on top of which stands a rooster, who looks very pompous as he blows into a golden horn.

👋🏼 Hello art directors and editors. Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! Did you know I like to draw chickens? And quilts too? 😁 Check out my portfolio at kirstenmcgonigal.com to see what else I like drawing, and writing about too! I’m rep’d by @beccalangton.bsky.social of @da-childrens.bsky.social

Four critters cooling off for Summer in a child’s play pool. One is on the end of the diving board looking a little unsure, one is climbing up behind him, one is diving in, and a third is eagerly waiting its turn.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!

My daughter started preschool a couple weeks ago and it has been going SO well. Watching her become her own little person, with her own friends and experiences outside of me, has been amazing and heartbreaking all at once.
