Say Hello On Instagram

Just me over here, using my school visit presentation deck as an excuse to doodle at night after bedtime routine. I am updating my author site and I have a question! At school visits, I introduce myself as the kid who made mistakes. Then I go on to share 3 mistakes that made me who I am, complete with illustrations. The kids love it. Now that I am scheduling my 2023-2024 school visits, I thought it was time to redo the illustrations. Shifting my brain from marketing mode to a creative space is a process. Creativity (for me) means exploring my world, my mind, without influence or comparison. One of my favorite creativity warm ups is sketching. It helps me answer these questions: How do I see people and moments? Where do I see magic? Why did I make these choices? And are there things I need to unlearn? Thank you @highlightsfound and @dorisdukefdn for what will be the best experience this debut author-illustrator could have asked for. And from the bottom of my heart thank you @crayzayq for creating this forever family. 💜 Though this first chapter is ending soon, I can’t wait to see what’s to come. Pack my preorder gifts with me. #picturebooks #kidlitart #kidlitartpostcard #childrensbooks #diversebooks #bipocbookstagram #preorder
