It took me years to embrace the new identity as a writer and illustrator.
I knew the artist, but the writer was always waiting.Then, I realized: Nobody will give me permission to be who I want to become. Only I can do that.
I could talk about this for hours!
However, here are my top five.

His mother on his left, is also looking at the recipe book whilst holding a carton of milk. And his baby sister on his right, is in the act of scooping out the batter from the bowl and is about to eat it.

From Just Dance! — Chapter 6: BFF graphic novel. This is one of the panels showing Ellen, the tween with pink hair, and our main character walking her dog Lulu with her new best friend, Cookie (Christopher SaMores), a cheerful, very tall and big boy. It is the golden hour in Autumn. If you wish to see the two page spread, please visit the Kid Lit Art section at milifay.art

Most of you already do this, but as an agent it's super helpful when illustrators put on their #kidlitartpostcard if they have an agent. I often go through the feed and like postcards from illustrators I want to see queries from. That way I can avoid accidentally trying to poach someone. #kidlitchat

Hello #kidlitartpostcard 🌞

This card is a tribute to the bright pink rubber sandals from my childhood; they were perfect for playing around the rockpools.

By the way, rocks are one of my favourite things to draw 😊

#kidlit #kidlitart #picturebooks #nonfictionillustration #rockpools #summermemories
Alt: Brown girl sitting on the rocks, by a tidal pool, looking a bit unsure at an orange crab that is pointing its claw at her. She has her feet inside the water and is wearing a red two-piece swimsuit and bright pink water shoes.
