Hey #kidlitartpostcard day!

I'm an illustrator who loves drawing cute critters and colourful characters. I'd love to do more animal-based non-fiction.

Illustration of a fall orchard. A young girl is climbing an apple ladder and notices a very large dinosaur hiding in the half-bare tree. Her mom is nearby taking a video with her phone, distracted by a rare european cuckoo bird in another tree. The young girl is saying "Mom..." A bag of apples is on the ground.

It's #KidLitArtPostcard day! I've been spread too thin lately to count/like them all but rest assured I'll be scrollingβ€”I know other publishing professionals will be too.

I so appreciate you taking the time to share your work! It helps me, and more importantly it unites the #kidlit community.
