Promo for children's books launching the week of Jan. 27-Feb 2nd, 2025, with instructions to reply with book info. Background illustration shows books joyously exploding into the air, with a blue heart in the corner with the week dates. Art is by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.
If you have a #KidLitbook launching Jan.27-Feb.2nd, reply with book cover (use alt text), title, author & illustrator, publisher, launch date, link where people can find more info. Pls add good karma to universe by helping to boost! It's a tough time to be launching books. #KidLitLaunches #Edusky
24.01.2025 12:51 โ ๐ 62 ๐ 27 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 3Ahh so interesting!! I sort of enjoy finding signed copies of books that I love - I guess it makes me feel just a little bit more connected to the author/illustrator, even if thatโs a very distant connection!
Also, that is a crazy story about Anne Perry - I had no clue!
Hey #kidlit illustrators, I'm looking for an artist who can conjure hilariously expressive animals with commercial appeal for a character-driven picture book that's packed with dialogue and action.
Respond here with images and a link to your folio.
Please no DMs. Agents are welcome to email. ๐โค๏ธ

The image is a promotional graphic with a light blue background. On the left, bold navy blue text reads "Auction Sneak Peek!" Below is additional text about an auction opportunity with author Kate Messner. In the bottom left, there is an illustration of a bear holding oversized writing utensils with "Kid Lit for Los Angeles" written next to it. In the center-right, there is a circular photo of a smiling woman with long, wavy hair. Adjacent to the portrait is an abstract graphic of a person sitting on a crescent with a letter "B." In the bottom right, there is an image of a book cover titled "The Trouble with Heroes" featuring a child and a dog. The footer has the text "@KidlitForLosAngeles" in white against a navy blue strip.
It's time to bid on #KidLitforLA auctions for wildfire relief!
Heads up for MG writers - I'm offering a FULL novel critique and a skip-the-slush-pile pass with Bloomsbury Kids publishing director Mary Kate Castellani. Check out all the details & bid here: www.32auctions.com/organization...
