I saw all the amazing posts for the 5th year of #kidlitpostcard and just had to make one ☺️ I’m Katie Moon, an author-illustrator currently seeking representation. I’ve been in love with fantastical animal adventures since before my eyes could see straight (for real). #kidlit #kidlitillustration

🍀Good luck #PBParty if you entered! I'm not sure if I'll be able to post teasers while judging next, and I don't see a @bsky.app poll option, so...: *If you're interested in #PBParty teasers, like/repost this post ❤️🔄 *If not, do nothing. *Comment if you want. Then I'll see what to do. Thank you!

Would love some input! Do you like the more crisp look of the black outlines, or the softer look of color outlines here?

With #PBParty results around the corner, this gave me the kick in the pants I needed to dive into a new idea, instead of just waiting to find out. There are always bright horizons ahead!

One of my favorite parts of the #kidlit community is that regardless of how competitive it is, everyone is always SO encouraging to each other. No cutting others down to succeed
