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

Latest read with the boy, his pick. Think regency era steampunk adventure story, also they have boats that fly to Mars. A little old for my kid, but he really enjoyed it and I like to let him read what he wants as long as it’s not crazy inappropriate for his age. 😉 #booksky

An old comic about adjusting adult perspective and expectations to allow for the kid magic when I can manage to do it. #kidlitart #comics

We’ve been spending a lot of time climbing. Sometimes I’ll be belaying and think, “Why are we participating in a sport in which his life depends on my ability to tie knots.” But most of the time, I love the kids, I love the vibes, and I love the strength and confidence he’s gaining. #kidlitart

Update on our #blackvulturecam: They go into the treehouse daily and poke around, no eggs yet but I’m keeping watch. S. has named them Lucy and Gerald. I like it when the ploop in the hay. #blackvultures #eggwatch2025 #birdsky #birdcam
