Hello! Happy New Year and Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I'm Ada, I'm a Filipino illustrator looking for PB, MG, YA or any illustration work. I'm also seeking representation.

A digital illustration of a girl drawn in 5 poses. The first one is her in a happy pose with her hands on her hips and her right leg is slightly bending. The second one is her in a karate outfit performing a kick. The third one is her angrily seating on the ground with her head slightly turned down and arms crossed. The fourth one is her in her pajamas yawning and stretching. And the fifth one is her hiding her face in her hands but one eye is peeking through her fingers.

As an author, remember:
- Your writing will always look different the next day.
- Remove each obstacle, one at a time.
- Keep going. Keep Writing.
- Many times, even though you don't realize it, your #writing is ok for the current draft that it is in. - Wrtr #AmWriting #Writer #Author #BookSky

Today! Make sure you use the correct hashtag (don't forget the ART part in #KidLitArtPostcard). Also try to remember to use alt-text! Not only does it help those who use screen readers & neurodivergent but it can help your post get discovered.

OK, #kidlit illustrators, help me shop for Christmas! My nephew (8) likes drawing, so I want to get him some art supplies and a book or 2. I’d like to find something that helps him build core skills. Or are the How to Draw X books just as good? (He’s a bit of a perfectionist when following videos.)

His mother on his left, is also looking at the recipe book whilst holding a carton of milk.

Eeeeek! It’s the cover reveal for my 5th book, “Nice to Eat You!” Is the sweet old lady a 🧙🏽‍♀️? Well, yeah. But do the kids know?! 🫣

Preorder a signed copy from @vromansbookstore.bsky.social: bit.ly/Nice2EatU

Written by me, illus. by Carolina Coroa, published by Orchard Books.

#KidLit #Halloween 🕷️
On a bright purple background is the cover of Nice to Eat You. The word "Eat" is written next to the word "Meet," which has been X-ed out. The cover has a pink-faced cat-eye-glasses-wearing old lady holding a platter of cupcakes, the other hand raised in welcome. Behind her, leafless trees with haunted faces scream silently under a crescent moon. Above the cover is the text "Pre-order your signed copy now." Below: "Flying into bookstores on July 7, 2026."
