Cool fact: Mabel learned how to ice skate in her room. Black skaters weren’t allowed to skate in the local ice rink, so Mabel’s uncle made her a mini ice rink out of dry ice. ⛸️✨ #kidlitart

Just thinking about the first MG book cover I ever illustrated, A Good Kind of Trouble by @lisamooreramee.bsky.social! It was in the Kirkus Best Middle Grade Books of 2019 List and I went around taking pictures of it in stores. #mgbooks #illustration

Here’s a little bit of joy for your feed. I illustrated these braided hairstyles for the back of Oshún and Me, written by @adibanelson.bsky.social. I wanted them to look like the pictures in the Black hair books and magazines that I would see at the hairdresser as a kid. 💛 #kidlitart

The last bit of summer. 🌦️ I was thinking back to childhood days. Right about now I would be savoring the very last bits of summer before the back to school activities started. Last minute trips to the shore, sleeping in late, playing outside… all that good stuff. #kidlitart #illustration

The second art print is a portrait of the legendary fashion designer Ann Lowe! I recently updated this portrait. I added more detail and changed it from landscape to portrait. This print is a 11x14, but I have smaller sizes too. 👗 #blackhistory #illustration

Here’s a short thread of prints I shipped out today! 🧵✨ This first one is one of my favorites based on Mary J. Blige’s hit, Family Affair. Sometimes you need a reminder that you don’t need no hateration or holleration in your dancery. 🤷🏾♀️ This is a 5x7, but I have it in 8x10 and 11x14. #lyrics

Last week, I saw the Living Single episode where Kyle was singing My Funny Valentine at the open mic and Max couldn’t handle it 😂 I illustrated this in 2016, but I recently gave it a much needed redraw. Also available as an art print in my online shop: shop.alleannaharris.com 🛍️✨
