I've adapted a bunch of classic nursery rhymes into comics. Here's the first one, Humpty Dumpty. #kidlit #kidlitart #nurseryrhyme

First page of the comic adaptation of the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty by Santiago Casares. The images show Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall admiring a butterfly until the place he's holding breaks and he falls down. The first part of the nursery rhyme appears here: Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

Second page of the comic adaptation of the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty by Santiago Casares. The images show a bunch of horses and knights, and then they looking over at a broken egg with a sad face. The last part of the nursery rhyme is here: All the king's horses... ...and all the king's men, Couldn't put Humpty together again.

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

Robert De Niro: “Now we have a would-be king — King Donald the First. Fuck that. I’m Robert De Niro and I’m asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th”

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

The bad guys are trying to pre-smear the #NoKings rallies as “anti-American“ — so make it a sea of flags! Reclaim American patriotism. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

BEAR HUGS
When Bear wakes up grumpy from his winter slumber, all he wants is a hug to feel better.
But when he tries to get one by growling “HUG!”, every animal he encounters runs away. It will take Rabbit’s wits to show Bear the right way to ask for a hug.

Here you can see the process of the creation of the illustration, from testing some brushes to the final art! #kidlitart

An artistic canvas. A place to find lost treasure. A marching ant parade. Who knew that a moment of boredom could spark magic on the sidewalk?
