I was so excited to see another toad book by @jashar.bsky.social! TOAD ON THE GO is fabulous. Kids will love finding the other animals' blunders in the illustrations, and readers of all ages need reminders that everyone makes mistakes. #kidlit 📚👍
cover of TOAD ON THE GO shows a toad driving an orange tow truck towards the right with lines extending from the back to show that he is driving fast; title in yellow at the top on green background; photo is of book in my hand in front of light blue wall

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day, everyone! I'm Nicole Allin, a Vancouver-based illustrator open to new #kidlit projects spooky or otherwise in 2026 & 2027 (and who is also seeking representation)! 🎨 www.allinart.net #kidlitart #art #illustration #CanKidLit
A group of trick or treaters trotting down a house's steps happily wave goodbye to the generous adult who just gave the kids a ton of candy.  The kids are dressed as classic movie monsters- a witch, werewolf, Frankenstein, Dracula and a ghost- while the adult is wearing a classic slasher movie monster costume complete with hockey mask.

📚👍 So many good books. #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebooks Old Blue is My Home Lita Judge Very well done housing insecurity story. Good at building empathy about different situations. Shows the joy that living in the van gives the family too.
Children's book cover "Old Blue Is My Home" showing a family camping by a blue van at dusk. 2 children are reading by a lantern inside the van, a dog nearby, and parents are hand washing and hanging clothes.
