Got to see Bitsy Bat: Team Star from the amazing @kazwindness.bsky.social today at my local bookstore when shopping with my mom. She loved how accessible the book is and I do to!

I guess I have the opposite issue there. I have people show me a submitted dummy and I am like "how did you know to stop there and that was enough?" I would totally panic about how loose some things are haha

A witch sleeps soundly on her pile of spell and research book. The candles having burned away are still letting off drifting smoke. The light muted colors are warm and cozy encouraging the viewer to relax as well. We already scoured many old scratchy pages together and now its time to rest.

Trying out posting artwork on here. If anyone knows how to adjust the preview crop I would love to know that. #kidlit #illustration #witchy #scbwi

A watercolor and ink illustration of a young witch heading into the woods. The woods glow with an eerie mystique but her magic lantern brightens her way. Wand out, she is ready for her adventure.
