Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much, Boni!!

It is!! 🤗

There’s some cosmic forces involved when #kidlitartpostcard day coincides with an art call from Brian LaRossa! My wonky characters & shapes (affectionately referred to as ugly vegetables by my mentor) won’t do the trick this time but I can think of many kidlit friends who should answer this call.

Not sure if Monty Lee is here on Bluesky, but she’s @mosokje on instagram and runs 3 - 4 challenges a year including the Imagined Book Cover the first week of December. @folktaleweek.bsky.social probably has all the prompts over here and on Instagram. I’ll pop them into your DMs over there, too.

I’m personally looking forward to joining the Folktale Week and the Imagined Book Cover illustration challenges on Instagram in the next month and considering going to the NY SCBWI in person conference in January #kidlitchat
