An illustration depicting four children sat around a glowing campfire in a dark forest, telling stories, reading and playing music. Top view from the trees to the ground. In the foreground on the left an owl with glowing yellow eyes is perched on a pine branch, looking directly into the viewer. In the top right corner on the ground is a tent, glowing in the dark and a washing line with several clothes drying. The atmosphere is spooky but cozy.

There’s some cosmic forces involved when #kidlitartpostcard day coincides with an art call from Brian LaRossa! My wonky characters & shapes (affectionately referred to as ugly vegetables by my mentor) won’t do the trick this time but I can think of many kidlit friends who should answer this call.

Hello! Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day ✨️ I'm Ada, I'm a Filipino freelance illustrator available and looking for work. Growing up, March signaled the start of summer here in the 🇵🇭 so this month's postcard is inspired by that. 📨: abigaelaco@gmail.com 🎨: adaabigael.weebly.com

A digital illustration of people spending time in a pool: A man with sunglasses is happily lounging by the pool chairs. Next to him is a lady in a yellow coordinate and a big hat sitting up observing the children by the pool. A girl in a pink swimsuit is sitting at the edge of the pool and cheering on her brown dog who's swimming to her from the other side of the pool. A boy in the pool is shielding himself as a girl who appears to be his sister is splashing water to him. Another boy is in a pink floatie observing the siblings.
