Gouache painting in lush dark green and blue featuring a cross-section of a pond at night. A green harlequin-patterned frog with a hint of tadpole tail climbs half out of the water into the cattails, looking at the stars. In the darkness lurks a taloned heron foot. The water is full of tadpoles, pond weed, insect larvae, and frog eggs. A single bright mayfly hangs on a cattail leaf above the frog's head.

It's an autumnal #kidlitartpostcard day!

The trees are busy changing colour & flinging leaves off in all directions. Huge piles sit around periodically crunchy and soggy. Winter is approaching fast!

If you're looking for a Thanksgiving contentment/gratitude book that isn't overtly Thanksgiving, consider ENOUGH IS... Available at libraries and bookstores everywhere.

Illustrated beautifully by Nicole Wong, published by Tilbury House. @painternik.bsky.social @esckeyes.bsky.social
Cover of the book has a little girl looking thoughtful First inside page reads "somewhere between a little and a lot there is Enough." Illustration has children in bear hats leaving school. How many books are enough? Stories before bedtime? Back cover. Girl and her mom. Text reads, "How do you find Enough? Look for it between a little and a lot." Also a quote from Adam Rex reads "quiet and warm. A perfect hug of a book." Adam Rex, author of School's First Day of School.

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.

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."
