Here’s another little detail from Wild Fairies: Daisy’s Decorating Dilemma. She’s worried because...well, she’s having a dilemma after all. #wildfairiesbooks #kidlitart #daisy

This has to be one of my favorite covers for the series. Ada Lace and the Suspicious Artist (Book 5) comes out in February 2019, but you can preorder it now! #kidlit #adalace #chapterbooksforkids

I am so fortunate to be working with the @americanfarmbureau and Feeding Minds Press on their very first children’s title, RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE. Here is a sneak peek at the cover. It’s all about how food gets to your table! (pubs January 2019) #kidlit #farming #food

Voila! My postcards are here and will be off to some new homes next week! 💫🤞#kidlitart

This illustration is for the back of a postcard, so it will eventually have text and labels all over it. I thought it would be nice to have a version without text too!☀️ #kidlitart #gardening #wildflowers

I am up entirely too late working on this, but I honestly can’t move on with my life until I’m happy with it 😂 Forcing myself to go to sleep now, so we’ll see if I’m still feelin it in the morning. #kidlitart #illustration #garden #gardening #wildflowers #bighats

This is what my art looks like when it comes out of my head before I clean it up ☺️—working on a new little personal project today. #kidlitart #garden #flowers #gardening #sketchbook

This is what it looks like inside my head when I haven’t doodled in a while. (Also, its the wildflower garden I wish I had...maybe someday!) #kidlitart #sketchbook #bumblebee #wildflowers 🐝🌸🌿

I’m starting on art for Wild Fairies 3 today and I found this little sketch while pulling up reference images. It’s one of the alternate cover ideas for Daisy’s Decorating Dilemma 😊 #wildfairiesbooks #kidlitart #sketchbook #kidlit #bumblebee

Wild Fairies comes out in just a few days! This is one of my fave illustrations from the first two books because it has EVERY flower fairy and their animal/insect buddy. I updated my website this weekend with lots of new art from this series (and some others!) I hope you’ll check it out— link is in my bio! #kidlitart #wildfairiesbooks
