a spread for Ranger Rick magazine titled "Get Earthy on Earth Day". Activities for kids and an illustration on how to turn your yard into a wild life refuge.

I'm taking the pledge for 10! One thing I do is subscribe to Ranger Rick magazine for the kids to raise their awareness and love of nature. I've also been an illustrator there for many years. Illustration © Debbie Palen (me). #earthday #kidlitart #childrensbooks #kidlitartist #earthdayillustration
