From painted to published! #childrensbooks

Momo was my first author-illustrator project 💚🫶🏼

Announcer: Let’s get ready to illustraaaaaaaate! Ding ding! I’m Airlie, author illustrator of many picturebooks including ONLY and NEITHER. I’m on a classics kick right now and I love intentional compositions and jewel tones #portfolioday

The Morristown festival of books was delightful! #picturebooks #librarylife
