📙🥢🥳 I love doing library events! Thank you #NorwoodPublicLibrary for hosting me. It was so fun to read TRICKY CHOPSTICKS, answer Q&A, run chopsticks challenges, and sign a copy someone brought plus hand out swag. Hope you all enjoyed! @simonkids.bsky.social @fannyliem.bsky.social

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! My name is Fanny, and I’m a children’s book illustrator who loves creating whimsical, warm, and humorous illustrations—especially ones featuring cats! #kidlitart #childrensbookillustration #bookillustrator #illustration #kidlitillustration

📣📕🎉 UPDATE! I’ll be at Norwood Public Library, Gold Coast Book Fair, Words on Warren, Millburn Library, Chatterbox Books, and the SCBWI NJ conference with SPARKLES FOR SUNNY & TRICKY CHOPSTICKS these May/June dates! Would love to see you if you can come to any of these events!

I got to illustrate The Beatles: A Who HQ Illustrated Biography!! It was a little intimidating at first. The Beatles have been my dad’s all-time favorite, so this one felt extra personal. But now that it’s out in the world. You can find copies wherever books are sold! #thebeatles #picturebook

I had so much fun creating this mock cover for @the_cat_agency submission—March Promo Prompt: Classics Reimagined, with a Twist. #drawing #illustration #bookillustrator #kidlitart #childrensillustration #bookcover #covermockup #childrensbookillustration

🏃🏻‍♀️😍 Here's how I walked to sign SPARKLES FOR SUNNY at 9 stores in lower NYC! Loved making the rounds to support local bookstores! 🥰 @penguinkids.bsky.social #thaimyphuong #yuandmebooks #mcnallyjackson #wordsonwarren #pearlrivermart @strandbooks.com #bnunionsqnyc @booksofwonder.bsky.social

Trying oil pastel on watercolor cold press paper. Pretty happy with how it turned out. #OilPastel #OilPastelArt #TraditionalMedia #TraditionalArt #illustration #drawingart #characterdesign #illustrator #childrensbookillustrator #bookillustrator #kidlit #kidlitart #artwork #childrensbookillustration

Harry Potter fanart again! Experimenting with oil pastel I’m really happy with the result. I never used to love oil pastels, but now I think I’m a little obsessed. #oilpastel #harrypotter #harrypotterfanart #illustration #mixedmedia #kidlitart
