Sharing a cover I love looking at❤️ Such a wonderful story about the process of drawing and the kind of mountain love #GeorgiaOKeeffe must have had for her #Pedernal. Perfect text that feels like you get to go hiking with a good friend. Thank you #Tundra #PenguinRandomHouse books!!!

#kidlitartpostcard pro tip.
Include key words that describe the elements in your postcard. In addition to posting open calls when I'm looking for illustrators I also sometimes search #kidlitartpostcard + key words. These posts live beyond the day they're posted.
