To process #scbwiny25, I sketched some of the amazing people I spent time with. #Kidlit community is a rare kind of warmth, and getting to talk about picture books and comics with people who are just as passionate was a real treat. 💖 I’m already looking forward to next year. Thank you SCBWI!

There were so many highlights, but the best part was definitely the community! I met the most welcoming, supportive, and ridiculously talented people.

Trading and collecting postcards might be my new hobby.
