Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social

I'm very excited to share with you all the cover reveal for the upcoming The X-files Little Golden book that I had the honor to illustrate!
It's hard to describe how thrilled I am to have been part of this project. Can't wait to share it with the world!

Today's #KidLitArtPostcard day and since it's October I couldn't help but draw a Halloween/ Fairytale crossover.

I'm open for new projects and also seeking representation :D

#illustration #kidlitart #kidlit #BRart #fantasyart
Drawing of Cinderella dressed as Frankenstein's bride lokking happily at a Jack-o'-Lantern carriage with a hunchback man as conductor and a headless black horse with their neck on fire. The Fairy Godmother is flying above her, wearing a fake green nose to disguise herself.

Can I just take a minute to celebrate the #kidlit community here on Bluesky. Children’s book people weren’t just early adopters, they stayed. They stayed, and organized, and remained engaged, even back when it was quiet. They kept the fire burning until the sunrise.

I see you #kidlit.

💙❤️

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day 👻🧛‍♂️ What’s happening in Dracula’s library?

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?

📚👍 It's spellbinding. It's tragic. Its driving narrative & end-of-chapter hooks made turning out the light hard. Who knew that an 1800s volcano and Frankenstein are not only related but a warning for our time? Climate change, folks. It's not a hoax. #STEM #kidlit @randomhousekids.bsky.social

Direct quote from my son: “It must’ve been for $1,000.” Had no idea it aired last night until I suddenly started getting texts.

Love you @jeopardy — and thanks @whoiskenjennings @chriseliopoulos and @penguinkids for building this. Special love to you, HK!

An illustration depicting four children sat around a glowing campfire in a dark forest, telling stories, reading and playing music. Top view from the trees to the ground. In the foreground on the left an owl with glowing yellow eyes is perched on a pine branch, looking directly into the viewer. In the top right corner on the ground is a tent, glowing in the dark and a washing line with several clothes drying. The atmosphere is spooky but cozy.
