Grayscale illustration of a middle-grade classroom with two rows of desks, a world map and a bulletin board on the back walls, and some planets hanging from the ceiling. The kids look excited with their hands in the air, except for one kid who has a very concerned expression on their face.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day and Happy May 1st! These are some of the people I met in a Mexican border town many years ago. I hope and pray they are free - free from violence, free from sorrow, free from oppression, free from hunger and living a life they want to live. #kidlitart #kidlit

This is fantastic! The city scene, the lighting, the characters and the perspective!

It’s a great #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m an author-illustrator based in Ohio, USA. I love to use bright colors and some humor. Would love to work on some city and nature scenes! #kidlitart #kidlit #kidlitpostcard #kidlitartpostcardday #raccoonillustration #nycillustration

Mine certainly does! 😆

There's nothing like the perfect mug to cheer me up in the mornings. Love all these different cups. Which one would you choose for your coffee?? It's hard to decide, but I'd pick the top right with all those pretty, bright colors!
