Happy #nationalcatladyday for those who celebrate 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

Photo of the book and brief timeline of its development. Idea in 2017, first agent query in 2018, 2023 publication, 2026 April 18 3 years in print.

The idea that made me a picture book author was also my 1st published book. Today is the 3 yr book birthday of ENOUGH IS... 😊 Thank you to everyone who has read it, borrowed it, purchased it, invited me to your school, interviewed me, and on and on.

🎉Happy Haiku Day! In Kiyoshi's Walk, Kiyoshi wonders, "Where do poems come from?" after watching his grandfather compose a haiku.

📚This picture book about a young aspiring poet & his grandfather shows that the answer lies all around us–if we take the time to look: www.leeandlow.com/books/kiyosh...

The family and I went to the first of 4 free printmaking classes @socolabs taught by @kgatesman3rdswitch.bsky.social

It was lot of fun mucking about with monotypes. I haven’t done it in decades and it was Malley’s and @danmedeiros.bsky.social first time. They did such a great job!

Malley and I did some sketching @metmuseum.org and the @amnh.org
She loved her first visit to the Met🩷 We spent 7 hours and still didn’t get to see everything

Aww, thanks 😊

Illustration art of a child drawing their dream world. All this while, I've been mostly drawing what my son loves. This time I decided to take some time to think and draw what my younger self loved. I don't think we're that different though! We both love insects, birds and dragons.. Drawn digitally in Procreate and Photoshop

Happy April #kidlitartpostcard day! I finally got a firmer grip on my deadlines so I can make personal art again 😭

I am interested in books and other kid-related projects!

Spring has sprung and the baby birds need to be taught where to get the best crusts and biscuit crumbs.

Mockup book cover with the title "The Treasure of Itzel". It shows two kids facing the reader in a forest setting. The kid in the front, with an "Indiana Jones" hat, is climbing over some stone columns covered in moss and looks super excited. While the kid in the back has a baseball cap and glasses, they are looking more cautious. The stones have carved signs and symbols, including a skull.

Children’s book illustration showing a unicorn bride and groom standing on a woodland hillside, surrounded by flowers, shrubs, and trees. There is a soft purple and blue sunset sky in the background, speckled with early stars. The tree branches above the couple are hung with strands of lights. The unicorn groom is white and wears a top hat. He is linking his front leg with his bride, who is black and wearing a flowing white veil that floats up into the air behind her. Both unicorns look peacefully content and in love.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I hope your April is full of blossoms, spring sunshine, and unicorns.
