“A Very Serious Report on the Boogers in My Nose” by @genesis-pearl.bsky.social is a very timely piece now that allergy season is upon us! I had the very serious assignment of illustrating the problematic boogers.

Illustrating “I Once Met a Man…” tickled my funny bone! You can find this idiom-packed poem by David McMullin on page 2 of @littlethoughtspress.com Issue 13: Head, Shoulders, Spleen & Nose. @davidmcmullin.bsky.social #Kidlitillustration #poetryforkids #kidsmagazine #childrensillustration #kidlit

I had a big smile on my face while illustrating this cute poem, “Sometimes My Stomach is a Ballerina” by Melinda Szymanik. 😀 You can find it in the latest issue of @LittleThoughtsPress.com #Kidlitillustration #kidsmagazine #poetryforkids #spotillustration #kidlitart

It’s always a pleasure to illustrate pieces that depict children of different abilities and challenges, like in Emma Phillips’s poem about a child hearing with “supersonic ears.” You can read “New Hearing Aids” in issue 13: Head, Shoulders, Spleen & Nose of @LittleThoughtsPress.com
