More than ever, love is stronger than hate. On #kidlitartpostcard I connect with peersβ€”and remind myself that writing about empathy, peace and love for kids matters, even if it feels naΓ―ve. This is the world I believe in. Love builds, never destroys. ❀️

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.

(2/2) Last year I couldn't imagine having a decent portfolio. And even more: I never imagined getting a response from someone from another country. So this is a victory for me. And for now, it's just a NO YET.

A few weeks ago I was rejected by an agency (very kindly, by the way) and guess what? Maybe some of you will see this as a failure, but for me its an achievement. (1/2) #Kidlit
