Working on some bird buddies for TJ for the second Pip & Pals book. 😎

I recently finished the art for the first Pip & Pals adventure (out next summer!) and I’m excited for everyone to meet these characters! 🦦🏝️

Encouraging all #kidLitArtPostcard people to add alt text if you can. And don’t just say drawing of girl, it’s a chance to talk about style, medium, and mood that can add more for everyone

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy?

It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook.

Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump.

But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time.

Let your reps hear from you.

New library comic! You know, “potato, po-tah-to.”

Btw libraries need our support more than ever. (🤬🍊🤡) Let your elected officials (incl. school board!) know how important your school and public libraries are.

Libraries are a gift and every kid should have access to all kinds of books. 📚❤️
