I signed pre-orders for Except Antarctica 🐢 yesterday @city.lights.nc ! I sat at a school desk to do it which feels appropriate. Thank you to everyone who ordered a signed book and to Chris at City Lights NC. Sorry that my signature is basically ineligible 🤷♂️ . . . . . #authorlife #exceptantarctica #localbookstore #kidlit #kidlitart #pictureoftheday #picturebooks #ncteachers #debutauthor (at City Lights Bookstore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ1JMjmHN_I/?utm_medium=tumblr
Cover reveal! This turtle is clearly up to something. When a David Attenborough-esque narrator explains that turtles are found everywhere except Antarctica, one determined turtle sets out to prove him wrong and recruits several other non-Antarctic animals along the way--much to the narrator's dismay--but what exactly do they do once they get there? EXCEPT ANTARCTICA, published by Sourcebooks Kids. Available for pre-order at your favorite book shop. . . . . #picturebookstagram #kidlit @sourcebookskids @rootliterary @mollyoneillbooks (at Antarctica) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNS2Si7nMIF/?igshid=bg5n7xwro86y
Had a less than stellar day yesterday so I dove into looking through a trove of vintage #dinosaur and #fossil books I bought recently. I’ve been looking for a book I had as a kid. Didn’t remember the name or the author, just a bit about a few passages and an illustration comparing bird-hip and lizard-hip bones. It was given to me by a 5th or 6th grade teacher when I was in 1st grade. The older class had given a dinosaur presentation to the younger classes but I was sick that day so my mom (thanks mom!) arranged for them to let me come look at the Dino stuff the next day since I was so obsessed with them. The teacher set up a video for me to watch (stop motion dinosaurs) and I got to see the presentation boards and now-extinct volcanoes the student made. There was also a table full of dinosaur books I could look at. Apparently he was impressed by choice to sit and read the “adult” level Dino book. It was the first dinosaur themed book I’d ever seen that wasn’t a picture book (plus I’d already read or owned the kids books on the table. He let me have it. Granted it was published in 1937 and already somewhat out of date, but my love for all things dinosaur has never wavered. And here it is. My long lost friend. Making a rotten day a whole lot better. Thank you #5thgradeteacher and all #teachersofinstagram who make a difference. Even if you only meet a student for one day, you can make a profound impact on their lives. #posttoolong #teachingelementary #paleoart #paleontology #dinobooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CMkPo2mH8Lc/?igshid=1so55gmouvcvq
Excited to find this book I had as a child (thank you #scholasticbookfair ), I remembered a page about a kid being the first to find an ichthyosaur! I was saddened, but not surprised, to discover they didn't even mention her name. Mary Anning did more than find that fossil. She was a pioneer in #paleontology. . . . #paleoart #kidlit #teachersofinstagram #ichthyosaur #pleisiosaur #maryanning #maryanningrocks #dinosaurbooks #fossils https://www.instagram.com/p/CMGjLigHK5W/?igshid=19l6h9wt8vf4

Fan art for the fun, slightly dark, and creepy podcast, The Midnight Library. Had planned on doing this as part of the #fanartchallenge but something came up (my book!) but I finally got some time to work on it. I think it has a fun middle grade horror illustration vibe. What do you think? . . . #illustration #kidlit #kidkitart #library #penandink #momentomori #illustrationoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CITPZfgnppq/?igshid=1rjxyve6i7yot

I read and made up stories for my daughters every night before bed as they were growing up. Today, my youngest daughter (now 17), gave me this Father’s Day card she drew of me, my daughters, and some of the characters I created - and let me tell you I bawled like a 2-year-old. . I have amazing kids,and I like to think those stories had something to do with it. . . . #happyfathersday #fathersday2020 #readtoyourkids #happydad #kidlit #kidlitart https://www.instagram.com/p/CBs6O1LnaZ9/?igshid=r8uhujq531j
It’s always hard making a studio mate leave but she moved in without asking and is always making distractions. Plus she was living in the ceiling. I hope she can be more creative in the forest, far from my house. . . #herpetology #ncwildlife #artistsoninstagram #ratsnake #snakesofinstagram #studiolife #authorsofinstagram #illustration #illustratorsofinstagram (at Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAtoAJKn_Vb/?igshid=1uvax4vr2c60p
