Summer Solstice has finally come, and it's time to cool off with some ice cream. #KansasCity is blistering hot right now, but a towering cone of creamy scoops would certainly help take the edge off.

Sorry I was working when I saw this and was just so excited for the opportunity that I didn’t notice it already here. Thank you kindly for the review and the very helpful notes! And thank you for doing these in general 😻
Heeheee I see the face. What a fun haiku!
Thanks so much, Reagan!
It's SUMMER! So, here's my illustration for our agency's Art Blast going out next week. Whether you have fireflies or click beetles where you live, summertime is the best time for catching summer night's winged lights.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day from my creative spark!

I love portraying diverse characters and different perspectives in PBs, CBs, and MGs, and love exploring the magic in everyday life.

✨I love that along with critiques, we can discuss the ups and downs of the business. Makes me feel less alone.

✨Found in a chat during an SCBWI conference. We were all talking about wishing there was a group. Then tada! 😆
Thank you kindly, Marcia! ☺️
