Scrolling through my photos, I found an interesting image of my friend and talented #picturebook author, Zainab Khan. We first met at the Gold Coast book fair last year where she read NOURA’S CRESCENT MOON, and I read MAYA’S TREASURE . #watercolor #pastelpencil #procreate

This #watercolor was inspired by my friend and incredibly talented author, Francesca Padilla. Her novel, What’s Coming To Me, is brilliant. #illustration

I spent Sunday painting. I started out doing a #watercolor and ended up with a bit of mixed media. It was fun to play and get out of my head. I spent too much time there. #pastelpencil #acrylicpen #hydrangeas

It was such a joy participating in #WRAD Sharing MAYA'S TREASURE with young readers at Sunrise Elementary was fun. 1st, 3rd and 5th graders had LOTS of questions about the process of writing and illustrating a picture book. They certainly keep you on your toes! #kidlit #kidlitart #writingcommunity

Maya Angelou's words have had a profound impact on me since my early 20's. In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, I began working on this, not realizing the significance it would have these last few days.
