I am very excited to share my poster for the Hudson Children’s Book Festival! It’s been a really rough winter — personally, in the world, and weather-wise — so I wanted to create a scene you could snuggle into. “It was a sunny, spring morning..."

Thank you SCBWI and the jury for the SID FLEISCHMAN award for humor for NEVER TAKE YOUR RHINO ON A PLANE! We could all use a dose of humor in these challenging times, so thank you to all our fellow finalists for creating funny books and to SCBWI for honoring our efforts. #childrensbooks #humor

Young black boy with braids framed by a doorway is yelling "WE DID IT!" and "THANK YOU SCBWI". There is a teddy bear and horn in the foreground.

Book cover of NEVER TAKE YOUR RHINO ON A PLANE which features a big, blue rhino taking loads of space in an airplane and crowding his little friend. The Rhino also accidentally hits an air steward's cap of her head. The book has just been given the Sid Fleischman humor award by the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

Yesterday we celebrated the 5th bday of Rise x Workshop at the Brooklyn Children's Museum! As a special treat, I traded portraits with readers (big and small). Grateful so many visitors were brave and willing to play—the results were surprising and very, very lovely.

"A rhinoceros is a ton of fun to draw, especially the rambunctious, naughty kind. Our blue Rhino is practically all belly—you can hear him galumphing into a room!" @studioroxas.bsky.social mrschureads.blogspot.com/2025/06/neve...

“The comically over-the-top illustrations, created with cut paper, oil pastels, and acrylic, will arouse guffaws; the bright blue rhino is quite endearing, and readers will easily forgive him for his naughty behavior. A hilarious flight of fancy.”

“In 2020 everybody sprinted to hire diversity candidates, and…you can’t sustain a sprint for five years. We’re now seeing as a publishing community that we need to be in it for the long term. This takes stamina, consistency, intentionality, strength, and commitment.” - Andrea Davis Pinkney
