I love letters from young readers. They help ground me, reminding me of why I do what I do, esp when I let myself get bogged down in the weeds of the industry. #Uplift Here's one from Ethan, about I'M BORED by @michaelianblack.bsky.social & me. #LibrarySky #ImBusy #KidLit #PowerToThePotato Cont'd

Handwritten letter from a child named Ethan to Debbie, saying he loves her book because it reminds him of himself and makes him want to read more, with a small crayon drawing of a potato wearing a yellow hat at the top. Text caption at bottom indicates that the letter was about a picture book called I'M BORED by Michael Ian Black and Debbie Ridpath Ohi, published by Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers.

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I'm an #unagented author-illustrator seeking representation. I ❤️ colorful textural art, funny stories for kids, and PIZZA. My go-to order is mushroom, pineapple, jalapeño. When I'm cooking, it's mushroom, basil, red pepper flakes. What's yours? elizabeth-metz.com.

Illustration postcard. Art features three kids enjoying a pizza party. The first kid is a Black boy with dark hair, curly on top, and a fuzzy green sweater, biting into a slice. The second is a girl with light skin and straight black hair with bangs, wearing a blue striped t-shirt and jeans. Her head is tipped back, her eyes closed, and she's holding a slice of pizza above her, pointed toward her open mouth. The third is a girl with pink skin, a blonde side bubble braid, and a yellow sweater with a white collar. Her slice of pizza is sitting on a plate on the table. She holds her hands in the air while pulling a long bite of stringy cheese, stretching straight from the plate with just her mouth. On the gray table between the three sits a big old pizza pie with mushrooms and jalapeños, a few slices missing. Overlaid text says Author + Illustrator Elizabeth Metz, www.elizabeth-metz.com.

The fourth one is her in her pajamas yawning and stretching. And the fifth one is her hiding her face in her hands but one eye is peeking through her fingers.
