One of my childhood answers for what do you want to be when you grow up was an entomologist. I loved finding bugs outside and checking out all the bug books from the library. 🐛 🐞 🐜 #KidLitArtPostcard #BugIllustration

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I'm Mili, a Toronto-based author-illustrator behind Warriors of Virtue, a humorous #YA fantasy adventure #GraphicNovel with a touch of romance. Currently seeking representation. Enjoy this cover sneak peek! milifay.art #AuthorIllustrator #KidLitArt #YAFantasy

Lauraliee Lumijer as Nenya the water warrior and Prince Diamond Pendragon — the two main characters of the Warriors of Virtue YA fantasy series by Mili Fay. Lauraliee is a pale 16-year-old girl with chestnut hair and grey eyes. Diamond Pendragon is a very old dragon-person who appears to be twenty. He turns into a silver dragon and has the colouring to match — his hair is silver-white, his eyes are ice blue, he is tanned with dark eyebrows and very handsome.

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard day, I'm Mike! I absolutely love sci fi so I wanted to create a new a sci fi/fantasy piece for this month's postcard. I'm available for new work, especially MG covers. I'm repped by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social See more at mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co #kidLitArt #scifi

A boy in a black and purple sci-fi-looking suit - his name is Jett Vesta - wields an energy sword, an orc woman - Kirra Grash - in a different futuristic outfit holds a laser pistol, and a short fizzy alien panics as he sees something off-screen... presumably something with a lot of tentacles from the shadows on the ground. All of this is on an alien moon in pinks, purples and oranges, with other moons and a planet hanging in the sky.

“A fun book with great wordplay and stunning illustrations!” Thanks, @yabookscentral.bsky.social, for the amazing review of #NiceToEatYou! 🧙‍♀️🧁 🌟OUT NOW🌟 Signed copies available exclusively at @vromansbookstore.bsky.social: vromansbookstore.com/book/9781338... Art by @carolinacoroa.bsky.social.

Book promo features the cover of "Nice to Eat You." The word "Eat" is written next to the word "Meet," which has been X-ed out. The cover has a pink-faced cat-eye-glasses-wearing old lady holding a platter of cupcakes, the other hand raised in welcome. Behind her, leafless trees with haunted faces scream silently under a crescent moon. Above the cover is a review from Y.A. (and Kids!) Books Central: "A fun book with great wordplay and stunning illustrations!" On the bottom right corner of the cover is a purple burst with "Out now." On the bottom left are two cupcakes that are similar to the cupcakes on the book cover.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! 🎨 📚 I'm an author-illustrator who loves capturing little moments of joy, especially those inspired by a Sesame Street childhood. 😉 I'm rep'd by Carrie Hannigan @ HGLit. You can see more of my work at diandramae.com #kidlit #kidlitart #summer #ladybug

An illustration done in thick lines and soft colors. It features three ladybugs swimming in the pool of water created in a rock's crevice. One slides down a leaf. Another floats on her back. A third sits happily at the edge, kicking her feet in the water. A large yellow flower hangs over the pool to provide shade.
