Astronaut in space looking at earth. Christina koch in orion capsule
Thinking about the #artemisii mission.
I was so touched by the words Christina Koch said looking at Earth from space. About how connected we all are, how the same fragile systems keep us alive.
From that distance, there are no borders, just one shared home.
Let's stop the fighting. #kidlitart

Two cartoon kids going wild and the text around them reads THEY REJECT BEDTIME! THEY GO.. BONKERS UNTIL... BrianKirbyStudio.com
Repetitive cartoon panels show a dad brushing his teeth. The text reads: BUT FIRST I BRUSHED MY TEETH. BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH GARGLE GARGLE This really is boring. MORE GARGLING Below the panels are two kids faces, observing “This is the most boring page in this book.”
#BluePit 📖 #pb When two overtired kids resist bedtime, Dad uses a secret weapon: INCREDIBLY BORING STORIES. If the reader stays awake, they’ll witness a showdown between the world‘s most tedious dad and kids who hold out hopes for dracula vs. dinosaur battles. #OS BrianKirbyStudio.com
Illustration of a vampire unicorn in a flowing cape in from of a stained glass window turning toward the viewer - text reads COUNT RAINBOW
Rainbow the unicorn hates the nicknames friends in Sparklevania give him (Cutie Patootie!?), but a run-in w/ a dracula bat transforms him into the fearsome (?) COUNT RAINBOW! His new evil persona drives his friends away until a nickname slip up rocks the town. #BluePit 📖 #pb #OS BrianKirbyStudio.com
Picture book illustration of various family members in gilded frames against an art deco background, and a mustachioed constable and turkey in floppy hat and bow tie consider clues. Test reads: WHAT'S THAT?! SOMETHING DOESN'T ADD UP? THE VICTIM: A SMOOSHED CRANBERRY THE SUSPECTS: THE CARVER FAMILY THE WORLD'S GREATEST BIRD DETECTIVE Brian Kirby BrianKirbyStudio.com
When a smooshed cranberry ruins the Carver family’s fine rug & Thanksgiving dinner, famed sleuth DETECTIVE TURKEY of Scotland Farmyard is summoned. His keen mind & refined taste unravel their recipe’s miscalculations, and a more sinister crime is revealed! #BluePit 📖 #pb #os BrianKirbyStudio.com
That he is! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Grumpy crocodile illustration, rainforest illustration
Crocodile Ryle was the grump of the swamp. He thought having a friend was the worst. Yuck! He ate everyone around him, until animals had enough and left. Alone, he cried. That’s when he met a butterfly who melted his heart. Inspired by real rainforest facts. #bluepit #PB #F #Q #ND #bluepithype
