Me too! When I first tried those tiny crispy Trader Joe’s chocolate chip cookies, I decided that was what they were eating. 🤤 #kidlitartchat
Wait, I just remembered one! I always wanted to know what those cookies tasted like, the ones that Toad and Frog couldn't couldn't stop eating! 😆 #kidlitart

I want so badly for this to be a regular part of elementary school education in the US.
Different timeline, I guess…

Finland is teaching children how to recognize fake news as part critical thinking and civic responsibility. The U.S. is banning books.

Got a kid in your life in grade K-8 who likes to draw fish (sharks, tunas, billfish & swordfish)? There's a NOAA contest for that, deadline Jan 31, 2025. And check out the winners of NOAA's tuna #art contest (they're delightful!) in a downloadable calendar www.fisheries.noaa.gov/gallery/2025... 🦈🎨

Morning writers tip: Before you put your computer to sleep at night, close your email and anything that will distract you, so when you start it up in the morning, only your document will be on the screen waiting for you to begin. I just set mine up for tomorrow. #writingtip

Okay, just used that SkyBridge extension to follow all the people I could from my Twitter account and then deactivated it! Wistful for the weekly chats etc from many years ago, and hoping they make a resurgence over here on Bluesky!

Still poking around on Bluesky. Just screaming into the void so far - which is fine and necessary, IMO! I’m #revising a #novel at the moment, so the only #kidlitart I’m doing is sketching weird creatures while on phone calls. I’ll be back, sketchpad. Keep the light on!

#introduction - I’m Julia Shahin Collard, a #kidlit author/illustrator interested in working on PBs, chapter books, GNs, etc (I write novels, too). My ethnic identity is complicated and I write re: my intersectionality/privilege…but I also love creating cute animal #kidlitart & writing wacky humor.
