🌟BEST BOOK REVIEW EVER🌟 Chimpanzee approval was not on my illustrator bucket list but it should have been. I’d like to think the poop is an ape starred review. Right, @amedyckman.bsky.social ? Thank you Ben and Sue from the Indianapolis Zoo.

AUTHORS! Do not, without the explicit permission of an illustrator, upload the art from your book into any AI system to create content like trailers for your book. I cannot believe this needs to be said AND HERE WE ARE.

Never respond to feedback instantly. Take a few hours to reread and respond. Try everything requested by an editor. They might be right. And if they aren’t you can show them why it didn’t work. #kidlitchat

I wanted to and wrote a non fiction rhymed story about Madame Tussaud. Whole story was written to the tune “Alouette, Gentille Alouette” One of the lines was “there she’d sculpt the severed heads. Of the newly regal dead” Needless to say we never went on submission with it. #kidlitchat

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! The idea for this piece came from watching football. No kidding. I watched a Baltimore Ravens game. Turns out their name is inspired by Poe. So I imagined Poe as a 12 year old boy gathering inspiration for his future work… which inspired NFL team. #kidlitart #poe

Migration is not a bad thing, We, the POC are not bad just for being different. But I want to believe we are more the good people. Picture of a little poc girl with yellow butterflies

The earth below the raccoon and balloon is blue, and trees, a farm, a village, and a city can be seen, all in shades of blue. The hearts from the raccoon’s bag are red and orange and are swirling down onto the earth below, brightening the land where they touch to shades of yellow and orange.
