Just got home from #BCBF and it was even better than the last two years! I'm so happy I've met so many wonderful people and got to see a lot of #kidlit friends:)

Book cover of "Coop Design by Merriweather", a picture book written by Kelley M Likes and illustrated by Marta Serraggiotto exploring creativity, friendship, and finding your own unique style. Next to the cover there is a big pink text saying "Preorder now!"

Preorders are live for the latest picture book I've illustrated!

Written by Kelley M Likes and illustrated by me (yay!) this book explores creativity, friendship, and finding your own unique style!

A middle-grade girl in a bright yellow-orange spacesuit floats in space, reaching out to greet one of several octopus-like aliens that float in space with her. Nearby is her small spaceship, and gas-giant hangs in the distance. The text on the card reads "Michael Dashow, illustrator, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, repped by Vicky Weber at CMA."

A digital illustration of 4 students in school uniform around a table in a classroom. The girl on the right is pointing on a part of an open book, seemingly teaching her fellow students something. The boy on her helf is sitting, looking confused with his hands on his head. Next to him on his left is a girl with a skeptical expression, hands on her hips also looking at the open book. The last student, a boy on the leftmost part has his arms crossed and is also looking at the open book.

Illustration by Kaz Windness from autism acceptance picture book, Bitsy Bat, School Star, featuring a bat family (Bitsy, Baby, Mama and Papa) perched on a window with a full moon behind them. Painting of Bitsy flying in a rocket ship is inside the barn room with cut stars hanging from floor which is actually the ceiling.

Hi #kidlitpostcardday ❤️ Happy Artemis and full moon in Libra day, too. Sending you lots of big star wishes that your dreams come true. Thank you for helping me live my dream of making books that celebrate every child’s specialness.

kidlit illustration with a kid pulling a cart full of papers. Some of the sheets of papers are flying around, and we can see that they have a message written on top: LET'S SAVE THE FAIRIES! In the background there are colorful houses and buildings drawn with colored pencils.

Just got my 6th subscriber on Substack!! *happy dancing* the Kidlit diary community is growing🎉

April #kidlitilloweek prompts. Lots of fun ones to choose from. How are you doing with creativity lately? I am trying to get an illustration done each week, even if its a small one. My mantra is something is always better than nothing. Hope that you can join me in this challenge. #kidlitillustration

It did spark the interest of a couple of agents but it didn't lead to anything serious. But I've grown a lot as an illustrator since then so I'll probably go back to it and tweak the art a bit:)

I 100% feel the same and I'm loving the teasers!!

that's so nice!! Today I'm finishing up the illustrations for an upcoming picture book and tomorrow I'll start working on some material for #BCBF2026 :)

it looks fantastic!!

totally the same for me!!

These #pbparty teasers may actually be the death of me. 😂 I’m headed back to bed. Wake me up on April 27th.

It's Friday and I had a week full of #kidlit! Starting with joining #PBParty, then with some emails for #BCBF and now finishing with working on an upcoming picture book:) What are you all up to?

Between working on my first picture book and prepping for #bcbf, I miraculously managed to put some work into this!
Happy #kidlitpostcardday !🩵
