Want to meet the people behind the books 📚
Isn't it wild to think that all these kids are running around sharing their stories/art and making their dreams come true?✨️
P.S. I saved the best one for last 🙃
Thank you Rachel! It’s all these endless videos where they stretch cats at shows 😂
A few close ups
Loooove your take on her!
Love these cat shows 🐈⬛

Hey.
Tell people when they do good job.
When you like the stuff they make.
When you like the characters they’ve created.
The stories they’ve told.
Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.
Trust. They don’t.
Tell. Them.
So happy with my scanner 🤭

Hi #kidlitartpostcard !! 👋 I’m Amanda, I love illustrating both picture books and board books!
Something I would love to illustrate is a book focusing on historical figures in the arts! Which is why I am sharing my new portfolio pieces on the amazing Jane Austen.
