Please share 🫶 Say hello to a small new character named Teddy! In my research I learned Baum admired Theodore Roosevelt who became president shortly after the publication. Are you curious to see how Teddy saves the day in Dorothy in Oz? 💚 www.kickstarter.com/projects/wim...

I wanted to create an Ozma portrait as a “one off” and as a fan of the Oz Club’s Baum Bugle, how about a mock cover :) #oz #wizardofoz #childrensbooks #scbwiillustrators #ozma #scbwi

I had a pond with an island behind our house growing up, and summer evenings, the frogs would start their song. Peepers, bullfrogs, and love “rib-bits” echo in my memories…I’ve drawn frogs a lot thru the years, fairytales are full of lovely frogs. #frogart #kidlitart #childrensillistration #scbwi
