Rainshine. Like the way life is heavy & beautiful at once. This #kidlitartpostcard day, I’m finding sunshine in the people I love—I hope you are too! As an illustrator who specializes in stories about wrangling big emotions, I create characters who discover that small is mighty & tender is strong.

Children’s book illustration of two kids (sisters) hugging under a red umbrella in the middle of a rainstorm. Part of the storm is a scribbly, smiling cloud with cut-out raindrops, resembling a child’s artwork. The taller child with darker hair basks in the reflected glow of the smaller blonde child, who emanates golden light as if she were sunshine itself.
