Collage of four images from a picture book called I Want To Read ALL The Books by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, including a behind the scenes process header, photo of a library and an illustration.
Of all the #KidLit books I've worked on, I WANT TO READ *ALL* THE BOOKS was the most personal for me (for many reasons). More info in my behind-the-scenes process:

My parents took us to the public library every week. I will be forever grateful they let me choose whatever books I wanted. Books were a safe space for me, reassured me I wasn't the only one who <fill in blank here, so many possibilities>, let me know things would be ok.

Large blue banner hanging inside a multi-level building reads “ignite minds, not books” in white bold text. The sign is curved around a central column beneath a high ceiling with a grid of fluorescent lights.
Working on my novel in one of my fave creative spaces: the Toronto Reference Library.
I have worked on many #KidLit sketches and mss here, plus included this library in my book #IWantToReadALLtheBooks.
Esp love the banner they have hanging in atrium right now! #BannedBooks #Freadom #LibrarySky

Screenshot showing process sketches for the book ALL THE BOOKS by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, organized in Obsidian. The left panel includes a character reference sheet for the mom character, with various sketches and a colored drawing of a woman with glasses holding a book. The right panel shows a storyboard layout titled "2627_SmallLibrary," featuring rough and partially colored illustrations of children and adults reading near a small library building.
Anyone else using @obsidian.md to organize creative project notes? I've been using it for project mgmt & note-taking for all my books for the past couple of years.
Here's a screenshot showing an example of how I used it to keep track of sketches for my picture bk #IWantToReadALLTheBooks. #KidLit

Illustration of a large, multilevel library filled with people reading, walking, and exploring bookshelves. Text on the image reads: "There were more books than Hana had ever seen. It should have made her happy." The library features curved staircases, study tables, reading nooks, and posters with messages like "Reading is an adventure that never ends." From I Want to Read All the Books by Debbie Ridpath Ohi (©2024, Simon & Schuster BFYR).
Those familiar with my most recent solo picture book #IWantToReadALLTheBooks may recognize the inspiration for one of the illustrations! #TorontoLibrary #CanKidLit

Interior photo of a spacious, modern library with multiple open levels lined with bookshelves and study areas. Students are seated at large rectangular tables on the red-carpeted floor, studying or working on laptops, while others move about the space. A large blue banner hanging from the second level reads, “ignite minds, not books.”
I worked on the mss and sketches for #IWantToReadALLtheBooks in Toronto Reference Library.
Makes sense that I work on my middle grade novel here, too! #KidLit #CanKidLit
