Our first #KidLitArtPostcard event of 2026 is this Thursday, January 8th. I think we'll all need the flood of art in our feed by then, right? www.ginaperry.com/postcard #kidlit

Happy New Deer 2026!! #kidlitart #kidlitartist #illustrator #illustration #childrensart #childrensillustration #picturebook #scbwi #scbwiillustrator

Hello, new followers! I'm a New England children's book author/illustrator. THE KING OF BOOKS is my latest picture book. I also started #KidLitArtPostcard (the next date is Thursday, January 8th!). Side dish of a pug named Hank.

A suggestion: use bird seed, rather than de-icing salt to assist melt (lowers snow albedo) while also providing traction. Birds scratching also helps!

Hello, editors & art directors. It's the last #kidlitartpostcardday of 2025 and I have a BIG announcement. I'm now represented by @lanewriteswords at @ultraliterary WHAT A CHRISTMAS GIFT! We're planning to create amazing books together. Check out more of my work at www.jennbower.com

Stay tuned! Some BIG NEWS is heading your way, tomorrow! #kidlitart #kidlit #kidlitartpostcard #illustrator

I'm so freaking proud of my city!! The Red Coats didn't call us the "Hornets Nest" just to be cute. Here’s the thing about southern charm. It's warm and welcoming until we're pissed off. We invented backstabbing, ya'll.

“It is very evil and it’s hard to watch—to wrap your mind around the extent of it. But if you can find where to look, it’s not hard to be inspired by all the people standing up to fight it.” www.thebulwark.com/p/baker-past...

One in a cast of characters rattling around my brain. Anyone else have a mother who dressed them in weird outfits for school? #kidlitart #kidlitartist #illustrator #childrensart #characterdesign #picturebook #cartoonstyle

#KidLitArt chat for Nov is THIS Thursday! Set your reminders! We have Nov & Dec a week earlier to avoid Thanksgiving & Xmas day.

KidLitArt@kidlitart.bsky.social · 9mo ago

November's topic for #KidLitArt chat will be - Thankful Thoughts! Join your hosts on Nov 20, 9pm EST/6pm PST for an hour-long chat about thankfulness!

Is #folktaleweek a thing in these parts? I only have time for one, so chose today's prompt - NIGHT! El Muerto, roaming the Texas hills on the back of a midnight Mustang, headless and hatless since 1850, thanks to a Texas Ranger named Big Foot. #folktaleweek2025 #folktaleweeknight #kidlitart

I'll be DAM! It's #kidlitartpostcard day! I'm an NC illustrator who loves to draw quirky kids, cute critters, and nature. Love to sink my teeth into PB projects that have humor and heart. Drop into my inbox and let's talk books. #kidlitart #illustration 🌐 www.jennbower.com

There's something new on the drawing board that I'm working through. Some pieces are so intuitive. NOT this one. I've struggled with decision-making every step along the way. Does that ever happen to you? #wip #illustrator #illustration #kidlitart #picturebook #childrensart #portfolio #folktale

i am sorry but you are just going to have to either learn not to despair or learn to get things done while despairing, this is still the one place in the universe where we are sure there is life and it needs you more than you need to read another headline that drains 110% of your energy

Is #portfolioday still a thing? If so, I'm here for it. 👋 I'm an illustrator of kids and critters doing quirky things in a whimsical retro-modern style. Currently, I'm unagented and would love to collaborate with one to help shape the next chapter in my creative journey. #kidlitart #kidlitartist

I'm doing one #inktober prompt a week. Here's #mustache #inktober2025 #kidlitart #kidlitartist #illustrator #scbwi #scbwiillustrator

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
