I'm doing my best to share the "boring" details of working on my first book with a publisher because the nitty-gritty is the always bit that I want to know about when it's someone else's book. So I wrote about it on Substack: shorturl.at/kkErP Enjoy, you nosy newts <3

The many cover options for The Biggest Smallest Thing, published earlier this month with Annick Press. It's ok to judge this book by its cover because a hell of a lot of thought went into it. #kidlit #kidlitart #childrenbooks #kidlitillustrator

Ana with the Key @anawiththekey.bsky.social · last yr.

"The Biggest Smallest Thing" is out now and available wherever good books are sold. It was brilliantly written by Sara de Waal, illustrated by me (eee!) and wonderfully cared for and put together by the lovely team at Annick Press.

In the background, another possum wearing a blue cowboy hat is dragged along by his lasso as a roadrunner sprints away. They are surrounded by a desert landscape and plateaus.

Don't you just hate it when you write a great story only to find out someone else already wrote AND published it? How dare you travel into the future to steal my idea then go back and publish it before me?
