Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! This is an illustration from my book dummy about a magical leaf Sir Leafalot who comes alive in this scene. I love to combine magical and real elements and use bright colors. #kidlitart #kidlit #kidlitartpostcardday #kidlitpostcard
Magical leaf looks like a knight. A boy looks at him in surprise

Do you have a #KidLit or #YALit book launching this wk? Or do you want to help boost someone else's #PublicationDay #BookBirthday?

Reply below with info + link to the post.

Only for books launching Nov.3-9, 2025 #2025-Wk45.
Large text reads “KidLit & YA Book Launches Nov. 3-9, 2025.” Smaller text says “Is your book launching this week? Reply to this thread with info and a link to your Bluesky post.” Bottom line reads “Bluesky launch thread 2025-Wk45 created by @debbieohi.com #KidLit #PublicationDay #BookBirthday.” Bright graphic background shows confetti, ribbons, and candies.

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard day, I’m Mike and I love creating fun, character-driven work, spooky or no.
I'm repped by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social and I'm especially looking for middle grade cover work.

See more work at mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co

In a dark nighttime hallway with huge arched windows, a girl and a werewolf (also a girl) are sneaking around. Both are wearing school uniforms, although the werewolf's has ripped a bit from her transformation. She has just knocked over a small table and broken a vase and the girl is shushing her. Through one of the large windows, we see more school buildings and a full moon. The text on the bottom reds "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, repped by Vicky Weber @ CMA."

A funny little kid with mismatched socks and a t-shirt that says “cool” looks apprehensively around a bright yellow room with old fashioned portraits hanging on the wall.

I’m doing #inktober this year with the new procreate brushes. Little experiments. I’ll post the ones I like and do a quick video for the end I think. Anyway, day one, mustache.

Hey #kidlit illustrators!

We're beginning work on new Christmas/nighttime themed picture book. I'm looking for someone with a painterly, textured, and literary style capable conjuring magic, light, and wonder.

Please respond w/ samples + folio link.
Please no emails/DMs.

Just submitted a book dummy to the Heirloom agency woo! But I also got this email today. Any diverse authors or illustrators who need a mentorship? Here’s a chance!

Reposting this as if a good bit of my manuscripts weren’t in rhyme 😂

Monday writing tip - the 3 big reasons NOT to write a rhyming picture book.
⁠
And yes, I'm aware that I don't take my own advice. 11 of my 20 published books *are* written in rhyme. And so are my next three, including tomorrow's release of WHODONUT?

Hi #kidlitartpostcard day. Since real life feels like a circus right now, have a little OG Roman circus action, courtesy of my love for animal-centric #historical #nonfiction. #Picturebooks and MG #bookcovers with a little #graphicnovel flavor.
A young charioteer waits in a hallway facing the racetrack of the Circus Maxima. He and his four horses watch nervously as an older charioteer in the background falls face-first into the dust.
