In a dark, dusty library full of cobwebs, a little ghost just stumbled upon a book on the shelves. What the ghost doesn’t realize is that Dracula’s portrait on the wall has come to life around the corner. What’s going to happen next? Will the black cat give the tiny ghost a heads-up about it?

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day!!! ☀️ 🌈 🏀 Following this month's theme of "You as a Kid", here's littler me playing basketball. I'm Becky, a Singaporean Kid Lit Illustrator. I love drawing kiddos getting into everyday shenanigans with their loved ones! #kidlitartpostcardday #kidlit #kidlitart

A digitally illustrated kidlit postcard of a young girl playing basketball.

There is sweat beading down the side of her face, as she plays on a bright orange basketball court on a bright, sunny day. With a vibrant field of flowers shown further in the background behind her and the court.

This is presented as a postcard for the KidLitArtPostcard monthly event, with this month's theme being "You, as a Kid".

I have always been frail and sickly, ever since I was a young. And so days were incredibly rare, when I would try to be more active. There was a particular day, when I had tried to go out all by myself to play basketball. In hopes of getting fitter and healthier. Just so that I could make my brother proud especially, and that I would eventually be able to spend more time with him.

Sadly though, that would not be the reality. But I'm still proud of my younger self for still trying her best.

I'm Jessie, an author and illustrator of children's picture books seeking representation. I focus on filling my work with whimsy and joy. All my illustrations are hand drawn, inked, and painted with watercolor.

Some fun little trivia items about me...

I love to cook. There was even a short time over a decade ago that I had a little food blog and would share my recipes. I love not only creating new recipes but also finding fun ones to try from cookbooks (like @inagarten and the @the_hill_country_bon_vivant).

I also love to garden. Our house sits on a little bit of a larger lot (.38 acres) and is covered with live oak and elm trees. I have also hand-dug and created beautiful, large flower beds of native plants that the bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds love to visit. And I also have a big vegetable garden where I grow herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, peppers, sweet peas, and more.
