I'm so glad there is a princess book on the bed-wetting topic. Love that Grandma believed in the kiddo. So lovely all around!

Hey you, yes, you, the creative who has been doubting yourself. You owe it to yourself and your muse to be interested in your own ideas. You are always your first audience. Let yourself be delighted by your own flights of fancy.

Anyone seen any really good starter packs for #illustrators that they could point me in the direction of? I commission illustrators in my day job so it's always good to be connected with more of them. I'm feeling like that's something my timeline on here is currently lacking! #kidlituk #ukkidlit

Learned so much from @juanitalondo8o.bsky.social 's talk on Illustrating Stories Digitally: From Concept to Final Artwork! Such a polished presentation that included everything from brainstorming to color theory to adding final touches in Procreate. #scbwiSummer24 #kidlit
