Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! This one is inspired by Puerto Rican heritage and learning family traditions (in this case, plena dancing!) I would love to work on another Latinx picture book for my next project. I’m repped by @litagentsaritza.bsky.social at ABLA, more art @ cindylozito.com

🌈COVER REVEAL: WHAT KIND OF QUEEN? Out with Abrams Books on April 28, 2026!

A joyous picture book biography of José Sarria, a pioneering activist, drag queen, and the first openly gay candidate to run for public office in the United States. So honored that this is my picture book illustrator debut!
The cover of What Kind of Queen? featuring José Sarria holding a giant rainbow over the Painted Ladies of San Francisco. Hu’s enormous dress and cape hold the book’s subtitle and author and illustrator credits.

I designed and helped paint a giant mural for an urban farm in North Philly this summer, so naturally I had to make a #kidlitart piece inspired by farming in cities, too! #kidlitpostcard

I’m doing a big sale in my online shop before I close it for a while in the new year. As you do your holiday shopping, this would be a cute way to support a local artist! Shop here: cindylozito.com/shop Heads up: I only ship within the USA 🎄

A year ago I drew the Philadelphia Museum’s holiday decor from the museum’s balcony cafe, and today my art is part of it 🤯 Just surreal

I did my first all-day school visit at Penn Charter today, bringing mini-zine and handkerchief design workshops to 1st and 4th graders, and my heart is so FULL! One kid told me she wants to be an artist when she grows up so she can spread more good things in the world. 🥲

I had an absolute blast at ICON conference, but I took home COVID as an unwelcome souvenir 🫠 I’m doing okay (thanks Paxlovid!) and have mostly been spending the time puttering around, reorganizing my art studio, doodling, and napping

Cindy Lozito’s hand holds up one side of a kid lit art post she made showing a girl playing telephone with a can and string, and a pigeon and squirrel feasting on a fire escape plant. Cindy Lozito’s hand shows the other side of the postcard, revealing a boy calling into a canon string and another boy blowing bubbles beside a bathroom window.

A handful of paintings I made that I’m calling my Summer Sweat series! These were so fun to create and feel especially apt in the East Coast heat wave rn. I’m doing a limited edition of prints that you can buy on my website’s shop link if you feel so inclined 🍓🥝🍑🍒
