Here’s a page from my YA graphic novel pitch for #kidlitartpostcard! I’m a neurodivergent artist who works in a variety of media & genres, including #PB & #comics. This project includes a MC who’s also ND & discovers a psychic bond between herself & the objects in a cozy-spooky secondhand shop…

Happy July, #kidlitartpostcard! What are you creating? TIME TRAVELING CHICKENS is my graphic novel debut. I’m repped by Kathleen Rushall @andreabrownlit.bsky.social and especially interested in illustrating GNs for emerging readers. #kidlitart #graohicnovels #earlyliteracy 🖋️🖍️@daviddeen.bsky.social

Another translation! I’m so grateful that “Worm and Caterpillar are Friends” is wiggling its way to more international readers. #kidlit #earlyliteracy #graphicnovel

Make art with your hands. It’s what humans do. #noAI #artistssupportingartists #humanart

Celebrating 5 years of #kidlitartpostcard with the theme “you as a kid”. This is from the title page of “Maybe Just Ask Me!”, a book about myself, as a kid. I’m available for new projects. ✨You can see more of my work at www.katiemazeika.com✨

Happy 5th birthday #kidlitartpostcard! Join us in making (or collaging) a caricature challenge to celebrate. I’m repped by Kathleen Rushall @andreabrownlit.bsky.social and most interested in illustrating graphic novels for emerging readers. #kidlitart #selfportrait #meettheartists

Hi #kidlitpostcardday ! It’s butterfly 🦋 season, so to celebrate spring, here’s one of my favorite comics illustrations from “Worm and Caterpillar are Friends.” Thank you for checking it out and for celebrating all kinds of children’s books. #kidlit @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

“The most common theme in the banned non-fiction books was activism and social movements. ‘These titles help students learn about their rights and the stories of those who confronted injustice and participated in social movements to change the world around them.’”

Report shows banned non-fiction books doubled over last school year in US

New PEN America report analysed 3,743 unique titles removed from libraries and classrooms and found books about activism and social movements were targeted

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Hi #kidlitpostcardday ❤️ Happy Artemis and full moon in Libra day, too. Sending you lots of big star wishes that your dreams come true. Thank you for helping me live my dream of making books that celebrate every child’s specialness. #kidlitart #bitsybat @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

Hi #kidlitpostcard friends! I’m excited to share art from what I’ve been working on this past year. I have four books out in 2026 😳. A roller coaster ride, but worth it to share these stories with kids. Here’s an image from BISTY BAT, SNOW STAR out October. #kidlit @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

It’s a special honor when independent booksellers recognize your book. Thank you Reading The West for tapping “Bitsy Bat, Team Star,” a book about accepting differences like autism, sportsmanship in a school Olympics-style competition, and friendship. #kidsbooks #indiebookseller #autismacceptance

Let your EYE-deas grow in their own time. Sooner or TATER you'll see success. How do I produce so much and work so fast? Years (and years!) of practice and figuring it out. Bloom late. Share this with someone who needs some encouragement. #inspirationalquotes #kidlit #encouragement #potatolove

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home. #regalsart #illustration #fuckai #digitalart

What Tech Cos were doing with Super Bowl commercials. They are not shoving AI into everything for the betterment of society. The opposite is true. It is to make themselves more rich and powerful and have more control over everything. #AiEthics #superbowlcommercial #techcompanies #privacyconcerns

It’s here! “Worm and Butterfly are Friends Always” is my sweet sixteenth book and the Kirkus Star-reviewed sequel to the Geisel Honor Winning “Worm and Caterpillar are Friends.” I hope you'll love this new early reader in graphic novel format. #kidlit #earlyliteracy #graphicnovel #bookbirthday

WORM AND BUTTERFLY ARE FRIENDS ALWAYS is nearly here! "A heartwarming story of found family that readers will flock to again and again." --Kirkus ⭐ Star Review Request and read and check out "Worm and Caterpillar are Friends," too. 🥰-Kaz #graphicnovelsforkids #earlyliteracy #wormandcaterpillar

This New Year's baby brought great news! "When You Love a Book" is part of the 2026 Dolly Parton Imagination Library and landing in mailboxes next month! May 2026 bring you health, happiness, and lots of book joy. Love, Kaz @heatherbrockmanlee.bsky.social #kidlit #kidsbooks #whenyouloveabook

Hooray! "Bitsy Bat, Team Star" is part of the @barnesandnoble.com hardcover event. Featuring a new non-speaking character, Enzo Owl, this story champions teamwork, sportsmanship, and acceptance of differences like autism. Happy New Year, everyone! #bitsybat #autismacceptance #kidsbooks
