Hello #kidlitartpostcard!

I’m Mazie, an illustrator/cartoonist/writer from Canada. I like writing stories about magic, but I’m also looking to illustrate stories besides my own, from picture books to middle grade! I have experience in comics, but want to branch out to all kidlit!

Hey #kidlit bluesky! A friend recently pointed out how her book’s Amazon ranking is affected by reviews. If you have a picture book that needs a boost let me know! If it’s on our Libby, me and the boy can read it right away, otherwise we can make a request through the library. #picturebooks #booksky

We just finished How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwall. I read it as a kid, but rereading now I can definitely identify with the parents. My legit response to my kid eating worms would probably be, at least cook ‘em fancy. #booksky #readingwithkids #kidlit

While I was drawing this the boy made a request that I turn the art into a coloring page. We thought it might be fun to spread some reading love so I’m offering it up as a free download on gumroad 7008109455774.gumroad.com/l/nbpfcd

Good morning, #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m always excited for the little art gallery that pops up today. It’s such a joy to be part of it.

This month, I’m sharing a spread from Luna’s Rainbow, which is officially OUT ON SUBMISSION!

I’m so happy this story is out in the world and in editors’ hands.

We went to see the Audubon exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The boy and I also read the graphic novel: Audubon, on the Wings of the World before we went. So now when we are out and spot a new bird S. gets out his finger guns and goes “Pew pew! I’m Audubon!” #birdsky #booksky

More convos with kids while drawing in public: Them: “Whatcha doing?” Me: “Drawing.” Them: “Can I see?” Me: *shows them* Them (skeptically): “Did you do that all by yourself?”

It’s hard not to be filled with rage every minute of every day right now. But I spent part of my week drawing in a theatre lobby where I could hear my son’s theatre class get up on stage and one by one sing their favorite songs to wild applause. I’m surviving on kid joy infusions.
