Art of a young East asian girl wearing a yellow outfit and holding a red ribbon. She rides a red horse with flames for its mane and tail. A similar looking foal runs in the foreground. 5 other horses run in the background. The fire horses symbolize the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese astrological calendar.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I'm Rachel and am open to any kidlit projects. This is some art from Truckosaurus, a picture book I worked on with Sourcebooks that will be published in March🥰 Website: rachel-foo.com Agency: astound.us/publishing #art #illustration #kidlitart #kidlit #kidlitpostcard

Children's book illustration from Truckosaurus, a picture book written by Karen Shapiro and due to be published by Sourcebooks in March 2026. It depicts a half-truck, half dinosaur playing jump rope with an axolotl and a laser-toothed tiger with glow-in-the-dark pythons in the background. Everyone is wearing party hats. I really enjoyed working on this insanely fun book.

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard day! I love drawing kids, animals, and fun situations. I'm especially looking for middle grade cover/interior work. I'm repped by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social See more work at mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co #kidLitArt #cat #gilr #madscientist #science #childrensillustration

A girl dressed in casual clothes with a lab coat over them holds a beaker full of a bubbling liquid and an eye-dropper that she's just used on her cat. The cat looks aghast as one of its paws has enlarged to an enormous size. Behind them is a lab table with lots of chemicals, and a giant nail polish container.

The information on the card reads "Michael Dashow, illustrator, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, represented by Vicky Weber at CMA"

Hi, #PortfolioDay ! I'm Mike and I like creating fun, colorful character-driven art. I make lots of art for video and tabletop games and would love to create some MG book covers. I am also seeking representation. Cheers! #kidLitArt #characterDesign #characterIllustration #gameArt #illustration

A girl is trying to walk two fluffy samoyeds but has gotten entirely tangled up in the leashes of the two dogs who are happily running circles around her.
The title reads "Zoey Crocker, Pet Walker" by Maureen Keene.

Two kids explore a hallway in a dark mansion. They look worried, and the boy holds a flashlight. The hallway is lined with paintings in ornate frames, all of the eyes of the paintings watching the kids. We can see the shadow of some sort of horned monster coming up the stairs.
The title reads "The Mystery of Mystic Manor" by Jo Barnett.

Sherrif Saguaro, an old-timey western sheriff who also happens to be a walking cactus. He's wearing a dusty leather coat and boots with spurs and a red bandana, and while he wears no hat, his cactus head is the shape of a 10-gallon hat. He's dashing through a dusty old western frontier town about to throw a lasso. In the background is his trusty horse, who also happens to be a cactus.

A panicked apprentice witch (she's human, with pink hair, glasses, and light academia clothing) makes a mess of her cauldron while being calmy advised by an older, wiser witch (who is a bear.) Aside from the exploding cauldron, the browns of the scene make it warm and cozy.
The cover reads "DeepWoods Academy for the Magically Inept" by Jo Barnett, book 1: Trouble Brewing

A holly wreath acts line a lens to contain the creature in a circle design that measures the its niceness level — proclaiming the Mistletoe Tarsier as 70% Nice. This is a first in a series of Naughty or Nice fantasy creatures. The design was created to be worn on a T-Shirt and can be found at Mili Fay Art TeePublic store.
