Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day (and hi bluesky)!
I’m Jaclyne, an illustrator from Toronto, Canada.

I especially love creating animal characters that get up to goofy things

An illustration of two bowerbirds inside a birdhouse full of objects of various shades of blue taped to or pinned to the walls, including a plastic fork, a bottle cap, buttons, a sponge, and a post-it with a drawing of a bluebird. One bird stands on a stool taping up a stamp with an image of Earth, while the other bird holds the stool steady. Text: "Now their space was to their taste."

Children’s book illustration of a cool bear wearing a color block t shirt, listening to head phones, and riding a skateboard. The image is arranged in several spot illustrations showing the bear first riding his skateboard with music notes around his head symbolizing that he’s listening to music. Next he stops his skateboard as he notices a smell drifting through the air. The next spot illustration shows him sniffing with his tongue hanging out. He continues to follow the amazing smell down the page until his board hits a curve and sends him tumbling onto the grass. The last image shows him landing in front of a little bunny who is eating a pizza. The bear looks like he REALLY wants a bite of that pizza!

A pick me up video for you. Toronto Wildlife Centre really do such amazing work for the local #wildlife. This video details how they treated a red tailed hawk who was injured by streetcar lines, fell and broke their leg. It's amazing to watch their recovery!

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day!

If you get too close, Mistletoe Tarsier, a candy cane eater and Christmas Trees dweller will give you an inexplicable urge to kiss the next person you see.

I’m Mili and I love a touch of magic in my tales.

Happy Holidays!

A KidLitArt postcard featuring a mint-coloured, tarsier inspired creature that has a tail ending in a mistletoe sprig. A holly wreath acts line a lens to contain the creature in a circle design that measures the its niceness level — proclaiming the Mistletoe Tarsier as 70% Nice. This is a first in a series of Naughty or Nice fantasy creatures. The design was created to be worn on a T-Shirt and can be found at Mili Fay Art TeePublic store.

#folktaleweek day 6 (which I am posting late) is storm.

But aren't storms the Best time to be indoors with friends? Books have once again connected people together.

The weekend is busier than I expected, don't know if I will make the deadline for today's post either 😅

Day 5 of #folktaleweek is charm.

Oh look! The mysterious furry critter is a friend! And is that the same book in their hands? Looks like another book fan!

There's no better way to charm and make friends than sharing the love of books

Day 4 of #folktaleweek is Book.
There's nothing better than spending a rainy evening with a cozy read under the light of the mushrooms.
Good thing our fox hero always carries a book with him just in case of unexpected rain!
Oh wait, whose that? Friend or foe?

#FolktaleWeek Day 3: Rain

This young blue frog did everything the opposite way his mom said. If she told him to go right, he would go left. If she said stay in, he would go out. (1/?)

Our little fox is lead to a cave in the woods. He hears an echo, but is it his echo or someone else's?
Should he go inside?
