Happy #kidlitpostcardday! I'm a day late - how could I miss such a fun event? Here's a little something from a book I'm illustrating. Have you ever donated your hair or had a dramatic haircut? How did it go? #kidlitart #kidlit #illustration

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day and Happy May 1st! These are some of the people I met in a Mexican border town many years ago. I hope and pray they are free - free from violence, free from sorrow, free from oppression, free from hunger and living a life they want to live. #kidlitart #kidlit

Thank you Debbie! I am seeking an agent as an author/illustrator. I'd love to illustrate for others too, not just my own stories and in a variety of products: Magazines, kids books, kids products, etc. #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitartpostcard

Always remember where our ancestors have been. The Greeks always say memory eternal when someone dies. This is how we keep them alive by remembering the stories. I will never let the flame of my family’s perseverance go out. #kidlitart #kidlitillustrator #holocaustrememberenceday #memoryeternal

Who’s feeling like some Kara-croak-eeeee?! I mean Karaoke! Sing like nobody’s listening today!! Inspired by my parents - my dad loves to sing karaoke. My mom, not so much. Haha! But she’s a big supporter of him!!

We are missing out these days! We used to read the paper together. Discuss articles. Cut coupons together. Now we sit on our phones, not interacting, not reading the same articles to discuss. This is what my grandpa and I would do together - read the funnies #kidlitpostcard #kidlitart #scbwidrawthis

It’s a rainy day so why not share this rework of an old rainy day pic! This is me going back in time where we played all day long & had to be creative! I have some old sears toy catalog. I love looking at it. If this brings back a memory share it here! I’d love to hear it!
