Award winning author and illustrator of many children's books and cartoons. Apparently I'm amusing when needed and quite reliable. Out. And about. https://scotritchie.com/ Kidlit 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈
Getting the manuscript right, for the right publisher - is not easy.

In stores today 'Lucky Dog Comes Home' from #pajamapress and written by John Spray. The story of one mailman, a few dogs, and the power to bring joy back to a grieving community—inspired by a celebrated WWII veteran. 🍁🗽

Out for a walk with a friend and we came across this frightened guy in Vancouver's Stanley Park. I hope he made it home ok. #stanleypark #vancouver #rewilding

Happy World Clean Up Day. It's a bit of a mess out there, get out and help clean things up! 😀 If you need to inspire the kids, why not pick up a copy of 'King of the Dump' by Tim Wynne-Jones and illustrated by me. You can get it online or #kidsbooks in Vancouver BC.

I dropped by Vancouver Kids Books on Broadway to sign King of the Dump: a picture book about recycling, green living, big machinery, recycling and learning to let of things we no longer need.
Signed copies available at the Broadway location while supplies last. @groundwoodbooks.bsky.social

I don't want to thump my chest and say we're the best - that's what our downstairs neighbour does, but I gotta say I'm so proud to be Canadian when our PM takes time for a flag raising ceremony for the LGBTQ community during Pride month. Lucky us, lucky Canada.🍁
