Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! What a wonderful November this is!

My name is Aislinn Hird, I'm a nature-based children's books author-illustrator seeking representation. I also adore me some magic and folklore!

My, my! It's #kidlitartpostcard day again! Happy October to all!

This month I'm sharing a colored spread from my thesis project, "Big MacVurich and the Beast," a bilingual children's book. Check the whole book out on my website: ahird-on-paper.myportfolio.com

I'm sharing another page from my recent BFA thesis project for #kidlidartpostcard day, reimagining a Scottish folktale.

My name is Aislinn Hird! I'm an illustrator seeking representation who loves stories involving nature and/or underrepresented cultures.

Exactly two months ago, I presented my thesis project at @pratt.edu‘s 2025 Design Show! What a blast! See this bilingual picture book project on my website: ahird-on-paper.myportfolio.com/capstone-syn...

Whoops! Had a busy Thursday and missed #kidlitartpostcard day!

My name is Aislinn Hird, I'm a recent graduate from Pratt Institute's illustration program, and I am seeking representation. This piece is from a book that I wrote and made the dummy for this fall, "Bertram's Big Bower Day."

Re-sharing this illustration because it fits right into the #scbwidrawthis theme, "OOPS!"

This is a spread from "Bertram's Big Bower Day," a picture book about a satin bowerbird that overcomes his social anxiety and perfectionism by leaning into spontaneous kindness.

Hello, #kidlidartpostcard day!

This piece is a sample from my thesis project that I just completed as a 2025 Pratt BFA Illustration graduate---I'll be sharing some more of this project, soon. It's a Scottish Gaelic folktale I was able to adapt into a forty-page picture book!

Slàinte mhath!

Happy #kidlidartpostcard day!

My name is Aislinn Hird, I'm an Illustration and Creative Writing student at Pratt Institute gearing up to graduate this spring, and seeking representation. I love folk tales, natural non-fiction, and socio-emotional learning stories.

Slàinte mhath!

I’m so grateful to @betnoire.bsky.social for setting up my opportunity to volunteer at the #scbwiny25 winter conference!! It’s been such a treat to explore the world of children’s publishing and illustration— and even make some friends: hi, @marsolace.bsky.social and @rebel-ebeling.bsky.social !!!!
