Have you ever gotten so competitive at summer camp that you ripped open a time portal just to win the 'dino badge'? 🦖🏕️🪄 #KidLitArtPostcard #summer #kidsummer #dinosaurs #magicportals #illustrator #KidLitArt Rep by @litagentsaritza.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social 💼 www.dianacastleart.com

Three kids stand in a dirt clearing with pine trees behind them. A black girl and blond haired boy look comedically scared as they stare at the hispanic girl standing in the middle. She is standing on top of a box that says #1 and is pointing at herself proudly. Behind her, a magic portal shows a dodo bird flying through and a dinosaur snarling and looking at the dodo.

The text above reads: Diana Castillo, Author/Illustrator.

Trying to work from home while #caregiving is a real test of patience. I get through 10 minutes of uninterrupted work before dad is asking to talk to me about something. None of what he says makes sense but he's bored. So we go out for a walk. (1/2)
