Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day & see you next season, Ice cream shop🍦🍨 Hi ADs, Editors, and Designers 👋 I’m Clary—a #kidlit #illustrator based in the U.S. I’m open for PBs, BBs, editorials, and any projects related to children’s art. ✨ Rep’d by Tracy Marchini Literary 🖥️ claryillustration.com

It's a busy ice cream shop where animals love to hang out on sunny days. A bear and a pig are serving ice cream to a fox mother and her baby, while a little badger with a tiny backpack checks out at the register with a sheep clerk. Nearby, a grandpa monkey is enjoying his ice cream when he notices his grandkids trying to sneak a taste. Outside, a rabbit and a little dog are peering through the window, wishing they could have a scoop of their own.
