Happy #kidlitpostcard day! I’m Kjersten Hayes and if I could wave a magic wand over kid lit, I’d wish for more picture books with big scoops of unapologetic spookiness, humor, adventure, and wacky mischief. So here’s a ghost! Setting off for adventure! Hope your spring is full of adventures too.

Happy #kidlitpostcard day! I’m Kjersten, an artist who loves quirky funny projects. Here’s a nod toward keeping-on with creative work even when the news or life is…too much. Like drawing with a squirrel on one’s head. May we take breaks when we need them! And make stuff—despite it all—anyway!

New to Bluesky, might take me awhile to fully get onboard and follow others etc. Meanwhile hi to anyone who finds me here!
I’m a picture book author, etsy artist, and illustrator. Here’s a kinda recent #kidlitpostcard I’ll post as a first post and as a way to say happy summer!
