REVIEW: HAPPY WORLD KINDNESS DAY!
Now  this  is a day to celebrate! The world can always use more kindness, and what better way to celebrate than with a picture book about friendship, inclusion, and kindness.

I can't publish Santa's Hungry Christmas as a standalone so I'm doing this instead - two stories in one!

If you need a little lift today, how about a pigeon juggling garbage-can finds? From a book I recently illustrated: "A Boy, A Pigeon, and a Place to Call Home," by Susan Chodakiewitz.

I'm going to be real - publishing is hard. If you're not huge (and I'm definitely not), you can feel invisible.

Any support helps! Buying a book is one option, but you can also help by leaving a review, sharing on social media, or requesting from your library.

Absolutely No Worries. “Bright colors and whimsical details abound in this tongue-in-cheek picture book that tackles the subject of anxiety with humor and grace,” says Foreword Reviews. With an emergency parachute in her pocket and zombie self-defense skills under her belt, Emma is prepared for any catastrophe . . . so why does she still feel afraid? Written for kids with big imaginations and everyday jitters, here is a picture book that shows that with a pinch of courage, you can be ready for absolutely anything.

Can I take a moment to gush about Anne Wilsdorf's amazing artwork in ABSOLUTELY NO WORRIES? 😍

It's kind of a tricky book to illustrate because so much happens in Emma's head - but she did a brilliant job.

🪻🌼🐝🪶🌿💕 // early establishers // spread from Gardening for Biodiversity by the Wild Seed Project // gouache on hot press paper

#art #picturebooks #nativeplants
Intricate gouache painting with a swirling mass of native northeast plants, creatures, and wildflowers. From top left: a gray birch stand with one tree in the mid-ground, its branch stretching across the frame. On a twig sits a grasshopper sparrow eating a grasshopper. Fading sundial lupine going to seed sways below, its leaves tangling with the leaves of yellow partridge pea. Sideoats grama arcs gracefully across the bottom, and bright pink corydalis sways above. At the bottom right, a clump of narrow-leaved mountain mint is pollinated by wasps. Hoary vervain with clumps of purple flowers grows above.
