Look! Brian LaRossa made a new Starter Pack listing art directors and others who hire illustrators and designers. If that’s you, he can add you to the list.

When you ask people about the books that changed their lives, they almost always mention a children's book. They're the books that make us readers, shape us at the deepest levels, and stay with us FOREVER. That's why I think children's books are the most important books of all! #kidlit #books

Toot, toot! I'm participating in an auction to raise money for the Armenians of Artsakh. As you may know, they've been forcibly driven from their homeland of millenia to avoid being massacred— and now they're homeless and vulnerable and need our help. Go to: www.32auctions.com/booksforarts... [1/]

Announcement for an auction to help Armenians forcibly displaced from their homeland. Depicted: monumental statue of man and woman (head & shoulders) and timeline for bidding in pink + red.

Hashtags are not clickable yet, but people are using them to create feeds to visit/follow. I made a guide to finding kidlit-related feeds if it helps: boringstorybook.com/kidlit-commu...

By way of introduction, here I am in "art vs artist"— I'm a picture book creator, The Green Umbrella (North South) and Migrations (Candlewick). My work is award-winning, including the SCBWI National Portfolio Showcase... but I'm shy and retiring. Come and say hello!
