I like to think that even polar bears need a winter scarf for those extra chilly days. (As a Floridian, my scarf came out this week since it was below freezing - brr)! Watercolor and ink…waiting for some digital magic #kidlitillustration #kidlitartpostcard

Gotta love book mail! Debuting on March 24, FROM THE FIELDS TO THE FIGHT: HiOW JESSICA GOVEA THORBOURNE ORGANIZED FOR JUSTICE by Angela Quezada Padron and illustrated by Sol Salinas is a timely and intriguing pb bio. @alexkelnag.bsky.social @simonkids.bsky.social @angelapadron.bsky.social

As a librarian who has always taught that .gov is a reliable, unbiased source- this is deeply disturbing.

Although I stepped away from “professional” children’s book illustration for a bit, I was still making art. Honestly, it was more fun, a lot more learning, and a little more teaching. It also included my first visit to NYC and a return to travel sketching and nature journaling. #artvartist

Love this! And…yes!

As a librarian for over 20 years (!), I just read this Slate article and it made my heart sing. Public librarians work harder than any librarians I know (and are the least compensated), but are THE ultimate defenders of information. So good! slate.com/life/2025/09...

Happy Manatee Day!
In the U.S., these gentle vegetarians live in my native Florida (lucky me)!

One way to protect Florida manatees is to be mindful of fertilizer use. Too much fertilizer causes algae blooms which suffocate the plants a Manatee eats. #manateeappreciation #savethemanatees

It’s #kidlitartpostcard day. Woo! Here’s a page from a graphic novel-esque dummy book I’m working on. #workinprogress

Happy #kidlitartpostcard week! And if you like these owls, please ask me about my WIP, a graphic novel-esque nonfiction book on shells. I am from Florida, y’all! #watercolorillustration #owls #kidlit #climateillustration

It's #artvartist time again...honestly, one of my favorite times of the year because I reflect on my own work. I leaned into watercolor this year - in my #kidlitart and with fine art pieces. Plus, I tried my hand at pottery (a definite flop), but I had fun!

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m Liz, a school librarian by day and author-illustrator by night, which means I know what kids like! I love non-fiction, animal characters and silly, but educational stories. I’m currently seeking representation.

I’m a month late for #seaturtleday but better late than never. These guys are so cool! #nonfiction #illustration

Staghorn coral and some long-spined sea urchins - Caribbean reef style! #kidlitart #nonfiction #nonfictionillustrator

It's a nice feeling opening up my Florida SCBWI digital newsletter and I see MY illustration peeking out. Thanks #SCBWI- you rock!
