FINDING WILD by Megan Wagner Lloyd, published in 2016, is such a beautiful reminder to notice (and perhaps invite) bits of nature everywhere. #kidlit 📚👍 Illustrations by @abigailhalpin.bsky.social are beyond-words gorgeous.

cover of FINDING WILD shows two kids with backpacks walking to the right with a white background to the lower right and green leaves and colorful flowers in the upper left; the title has a few leaves, flowers, and critters around the letters

Packing up an order. It's always bittersweet sending art off into the world.

Allan and Janet Ahlberg's books had a huge impact on me both as a child and as an illustrator. "The Jolly Postman" is pure magic.
