I think maybe it’s a human thing to be able to hold many different emotions at the same time. Deep sadness for the senseless loss of life. Anger at those who would exploit a tragedy to start wars and divide what has always been a beautifully diverse country… 1/2

My author copies of EARTH: One Planet’s Epic Story arrived, and I say this every time, but I can’t believe it’s really a book! I’ll be sharing more about the process of making it in the coming months. But for now, feeling happy. (EARTH will be out Nov. 10th, and is available for preorder!) #kidlit

It’s finally warm here in New England (and tempting fate to say it out loud, I know!) Windows are open, and cat and I are enjoying the fresh air. Thank goodness for that. #studiocat #illustratorlife #littlethings

Time for a cover reveal! Very happy to share that EARTH: ONE PLANET’S EPIC STORY will be out November 10th, 2026! I’m still fascinated to think about the length of time this planet has existed. We humans are lucky to call it home! 🌏🌍🌎 (Available for preorder now.) 📚💕 #kidlit #abramskids #earth

Hard to see due to the angle of the sun, but my daughter snapped this pic of a Bald Eagle yesterday in my backyard!! What a magnificent creature. ♥️🦅

This country has a long history of disparaging the newest immigrants. I wish more descendants of the earlier ones remembered that. Book spread from A PLACE CALLED AMERICA (Abrams, 2023). #kidlit #kidlitart #bookswithmaps

Happy to be at the printer’s proofs stage for EARTH: ONE PLANET’S EPIC STORY! Not sure of the exact pub date yet, but it is soon. (Relatively speaking, in publishing time!!) 🌎🌍🌏🙂 #kidlit #nonfictionforkids #earthoneplanetsepicstory

If you haven’t been watching Ken Burns’s The American Revolution on PBS this week I highly recommend it. History is layered, and complex, and there’s always more to learn. I especially enjoyed last night’s episode about New York! Spread from MANHATTAN: Mapping the Story of an Island (Abrams, 2019).

The art is en route to the publisher! It’s always hard for me to let it go. This book was especially intense, and it was so very satisfying to get lost in the making. (Random studio cat agrees.) EARTH: One Planet’s Epic Story coming soon with @abramskids. Yay! 🌎🌍🌏 #kidlitart #earth
