⭐️COVER REVEAL and LINKS!⭐️

I NEED SPACE, written by @mollyharris.bsky.social and illustrated by me (my debut!) is now available for preorder! The link is in my bio/ website.

For a rocket ship like Rocco, space is one big playground, but like most playgrounds, not everyone plays by the rules. πŸš€

A girl in black and white climbs a ladder and uses a bullhorn to make a creative proclamation. Lots of colored items and movement are coming out of the bullhorn.

Hey! It's #KidLitArtPostcard day. I'm an author/illustrator of books for kids. I try to work texture and color into everything I do. I love manuscripts that are quirky, funny, and have a load of heart. I'm rep'd by @jenrofe.bsky.social of @andreabrownlit.bsky.social.

Picture book art featuring a spooky cute cemetery at night with tombstones and bees buzzing around. A cat in a witch hat follows the bees. Scene from The Zombees, a rhyming Halloween picture book written by Justin Colon & illustrated by Kaly Quarles.
