I was sitting outside using @Procreateโ€” illustrating a non-fiction #KidLit and found myself accidentally #birdwatching. I spied this cutie eating from lavender blooms. I looked it up in my #Audubon book. I think itโ€™s an adult male Lesser Goldfinch of western North America?

I'm a bit late on posting for #KidLitPostcard dayโ€”no octopi involved. If they were, I might have been on time.

Four illustrations featuring a worm and a butterfly with rainbow color wings. The text in the speech bubbles reads "Hi Kidlit Postcard Day" "We are back" "With new friends!" "And more magenta!" "And teal." The bottom illustration is an evening scene in a meadow with a tree and a field and a lake in the background. There is a baby worm between the butterfly and worm and a blue stellars jay and a robin in the background. The jay is attempting to keep the robin away from the baby worm.

What's your favorite color? Hi #kidlitpostcardday! I'm Kaz Windness, and I love using teal and magenta in my art. Art directors say this is a good style branding approach, but I'm not doing this on purpose. Anyway, I hope you'll check out WORM AND BUTTERFLY ARE FRIENDS ALWAYS. #kidlit #graphicnovels

It's #KidLitArtPostCard day! It's always so fun to see such wonderful art from so many talented creators! This pair of puddle jumpers have found a bit of magic!
