Summer is for Cousins, by Rajani LaRocca and Abhi Alwar is a GREAT book for the last day of school (and summer reading fun, in general). I read it with my K-2 classes, and they were all so eager to share their own stories. @rajanilarocca.bsky.social #kidlit #librarians #nescbwi
So. I was pretty bummed about having to miss “the art of the picture book” with at my amazing public library due to “mom duties” (aka my part time taxi service) BUT I was able to revise something I was stuck on, thanks looking back at notes from the #nescbwi workshop with @pamvau.bsky.social
I won summink!! Thanks, NESCBWI peeps! That really meant a lot. #scbwi #illustration #kidlitart #nescbwi
Just finished an amazing weekend at #NESCBWI. Met new friends, fell in love with some new books, and was inspired beyond words! I truly love the kidlit community!

"This Book Belongs to" bookplate showing a fairy child on oak branch above a black tuxedo cat surrounded by daisies. Artwork by Rachel Armington for her Marina and the Fairies series.
This is the bookplate for the first book in my series Marina and the Fairies. I hope to finish illustration what I've written so far by 2030. Wish me luck and fortitude! #fantasy #fairy #kidlitart #chapterbook #marinaandthefairies #fairytale #NESCBWI #blackcat
Black and white mini Aussie dog lying with his head on a black art portfolio on a couch. On top of the portfolio is a picture book dummy with a rhino on it.
The puppy will be staying behind, but the portfolio and dummy are ready for the @scbwi conference this weekend! Who all is going to be there this year? I feel very out of the loop with everything else that’s been going on….
